Whoop Whoop Liberals!
We have a new holiday in Ontario, in February when it is needed the most. However, it is only provincial... so I still have to go to work. So I guess... fuck.

Here's a nice quote from McGuinty's election campaign back in 2003:
"I won't cut taxes....but I won't raise them either" 6 months later, BAM! nice big tax hike!


at least with the PC you know exactly what they are going to do! they lay it out for you without a hidden agenda

yeah, give money to rich kids in private faith schools, privatise ( sp) heathcare,  lower taxs ( thats a BAD THING, we need lower taxes like we need a kick in the ass...... funding for everything comes from somewhere). Sell out the lumber industry to the states, fuck over the unions, and make like pretty shitty for everybody in ontario. I love their adds where they " Want to make Ontario the provence with the best economy."   Sorry guys, we will never have that title for one sheer fact......Alberta has Oil, where we don't.
