First, we didn't all vote Liberal. Second, we got another yet another Liberal government because we were ready to turf them out and vote in the Conservatives when Paul Martin stood up and yelled "The bogeyman is coming!", and Ontario voters ran away in terror. Once again, the rest of us are stuck with the government Ontario wanted. Canadian democracy - government of the people, by the Ontario people. Third, the alternative to an arrogant, condescending, bungling government who can't keep it's hand out of the cookie jar looks pretty good. > The "smart leadership" in this country has just about shot off every toe it > has. They did that before the election, and you voted for them anyway, along with enough other people to elect them, and in the process send them the message that the Canadian electorate is not going to hold them responsible for their actions no matter what they do.
