Editorial Comment More cuts for Ontario It's the last week of November and Ontario awaits Round Two of the Tories' deficit-fighting cost-reduction program. Even the government has taken no pains to conceal how deep and drastic the reductions to be announced tomorrow will be. How could they not be? ...The government aims to chop a further $3.5 billion in spending, as it plots its course toward the fiscal responsibility platform upon which it was elected and, in addition, its promised tax cut. The Conservatives are doing precisely what they promised to do, albeit on a scale and at a speed which must come as a surprise to even their most ardent supporters. Size and pace aside, though, the fact remains that the government received a clear mandate from a large portion of the electorate, and can now go full steam ahead with a plan which, depending on the way you look at it, either guts the province or sets it in motion again. The fall-out may take some time to become evident for most of us, but it surely will, eventually.
