Ontario Elections 2003

In my eyes, the two areas requiring the most attention are health care and education. I believe the health care system is suffering greatly due to government cutbacks. Windsor in particular is more than 200 doctors short of the recommended quota for family physicians per capita. And yet, here we are, laying off doctors and health care professionals with years, and in many cases, decades of experience! Poor government decision-making leaves those in the medical profession with little inc

In closing, I would like point out that I do have hesitations about the NDP approach to government. Past experiences have shown that social services are expensive! Large deficits in previous years have shown very clearly the importance of fiscal responsibility.

Similarly, although Canada ranks among the best in the world for education, as stated recently in the Windsor Star, I believe there remains vast room for improvement. I believe teachers are underpaid, and as a result, the profession fails to attract many highly qualified individuals who would find such a position otherwise desirable. Teaching in many circumstances, has become a last resort for those who didn’t qualify for their chosen profession. University tuition costs continue to soar and students graduate further and further in debt. I don’t necessarily think that we should go so far as say, Finland, who fully finances all of their citizens’ education on top of pay allowances
