The ON govt’s long-term #onpoli budget plans are based on deep cuts to public services in the years ahead, @infoFAO reported today. In its analysis of the 2021-22 budget, @infoFAO’s says per capita program spending is set to fall by $1,281 per person by decade’s end.
We're talking huge cuts. Cuts of this magnitude can only come from slashing big-ticket #onpoli spending items in the budget, starting with health, education, and social services.
Before #COVID19, @infoFAO had already reported that #onpoli program spending was already dead last in Canada, at $2,000 per person less than the average of the other provinces. Instead of climbing out of that hole, Queen’s Park is digging it deeper.
Some of the cuts may pay for tax cuts, @infoFAO suggests, based on the difference between govt revenue projections and its own – an odd move when the #onpoli govt is demanding more health funding from Ottawa. Read the full report here: fao-on.org/en/Blog/Public…
