The McGuinty government has been using the report of the Commission on the Reform of Ontario’s Public Services, known as the Drummond report, to short-circuit an open, public debate about the value of public services and what Ontario needs to do to improve and protect them. This paper exposes the government’s strategy and critically reviews the Drummond report’s key premise: namely, that Ontario cannot afford to maintain its current level of public services because the province faces a dire fiscal crisis.
The CCPA Monitor is the only place I know that one can go to for accurate and honest reporting on the state of the world. I would hate like hell to ever be without The CCPA Monitor; it would be like losing my sight and my hearing. I heartily recommend it to anybody who gives a damn about the condition of the world.
