Canadian Politics: Tories getting thumped in Ontario
Well, it seemed like the PC's were essentially giving up about a week ago, so hopefully the Libs just ram it home as hard as is needed.
Of course, this doesn't have much bearing on me, all the way over in the Good Part of Canada, but... it's always nice to see a Ernie Eves get put in his place.

Although, on the other hand, now you've got to deal with an Evil Reptilian Kitten-Eater From Another Planet as Premier...
Eh, either way, it's still a step up from Eves.

It's a shame Ontario doesn't have brilliant economic politicians like Klein.

It's really turning into a rout: the Liberals are projected to get 68 seats and the Tories about 26 or so.
The NDP (or pathetic wannabe commies) are down one to 8 (17% of the vote though).
That's nothing, you should see how many seats the Liberals have in Alberta's parliament. Or even better, NDP.
The best thing is it's been like that for about 50 years now.

What have you been smoking? Harris and Eves attempted to cut taxes willy-nilly. Unfortunately for them people aren't so stupid as to realise that this means cuts to services.
Klein would never get elected here.
Anyway, the Liberals are going to be the government of Canada and Ontario for the foreseeable future since they are the only electable party.

But Alberta doesn't count in Canadian politics. It's Ontario and Quebec. Everyone else is of marginal importance.
Unless you're in the business world.
Remember, Alberta has the fastest growing GDP and population by far, and Calgary is only 2nd to Toronto to # of corporate HQs, and closing that gap rapidly, despite having 1/3 of the population.

What are you talking about? There's more to it than cutting taxes willy-nilly.

It doesn't matter in a democracy. Alberta is always going to be a marginal province because Quebec and Ontario simply have too many people. The fact of Canadian Federal politics now and for the foreseeable future is that the Liberals win.

Someone should have told the Ontario Tories that.
Look, Klein is a good politician, but an ape could stand for the Tories in Alberta and still get elected.

Since when was Canada democracy?

Stockwell Day couldn't get reelected.
