Jean Charest not the leader Canada needs, Eric Duhaime, Toronto Sun

Here are the facts on Charest’s administration, from the time it arrived in office to today:

• The size of the provincial government in the economy went from 27% to 31.4%.
• The spending per capita went from $9,036 to $11,627.
• The proportion of investments that are public went from 23.1% to 34.9%.
• The number of bureaucrats went from 95.5 per 1,000 habitants to 97.3.

• The provincial net debt per capita went from $14,270 to $16,482, while it decreased on average in Canada to below $8,000.

• Provincial subsidies per capita went from $637 to $741, while it declined in the  rest of the country to below $200.

And let’s not talk about the fact that the waiting lists in Quebec hospitals are now worse than they were seven years ago and the school dropout rate has also increased.
