If people gave a shit about where the money is coming from, Doug Ford would be tanking in the polls as he has obviously impossible to fund proposals. Whatever the parties say in their funding blurbs just serves the purpose of telling their potential voter base what's going to happen to their taxes. In the end, the difference always comes from debt and that's OK. So reality tells me funding proposals aren't what wins or loses elections. The efficiencies proposal is great because it works just like it worked for Ford. It's nebulous, it allows for saying you're doing it while not achieving anything with it. Therefore it allows for not doing austerity in reality. Of course it also allows for austerity. It's why I'd look at the rest of the platform details for clues on that.
