Dear John,
Despite criticisms of past governments, the Ford government has generally continued the fiscal policies of the McGuinty and Wynne governments with respect to spending and debt.
A new Fraser Institute study out today shows that the current Ontario government is continuing its immediate predecessors’ failed approach of slowing spending growth as a means towards a balanced budget. In other words, the Ford government has reduced the growth in government spending but not actually cut spending (before adjustments for inflation).
Read the study's full findings here, and be sure to share it with your friends and colleagues.
Stay safe,
Niels Veldhuis
President
