1/ After 14 years of dragging down the Ontario economy by adding fat to the  greater public sector and weakening the competitive market sector, it is not difficult to have a couple of years of relative growth from such a low base.  I remember when Ontario under a 42 year PC government led economic growth in Canada every year.  Forecasts indicate low growth by the 4th quarter and in 2018 and 2019 in part due to a growing trade deficit and as Wynne desperately tries to bribe voters with even more spending this falling growth will fall even faster.

2/ Yes, it took 14 years for this irresponsible government of big spending and big debt to get unemployment down to what it was after Mike Harris and his Conservative government rescued the province from the last inept, irresponsible, big spending,  big debt government, the Rae Daze NDP Comedy Show.  Nice tribute to Mike Harris, PHILCO3.

3/ Note to Globe editors : A `Great NDP Premier` is an oxymoron save only for Douglas and Romanow!
