So long and good riddance, Ernie

Liberals win big in Ontario: My god, it’s about time. It’s just too bad that fascist Mike Harris wasn’t the one bounced out on his ass when the Liberals cleaned house.
Now, of course, the question is whether or not Dalton McGuinty actually has what it takes to govern Ontario with both fiscal and social responsiblity. I’m pretty sure about the latter, but I do wonder about the former.
Strange how I still give a shit about Ontario politics, considering it’s been two years since I lived there, but there always was something about the PC government that got my back up.
Now Toronto just has to replace that ferret of a mayor, Mel Lastman. Don’t get me started on Mel.

I'm enjoying basking in the Tory-free air for the moment, but I wish the NDP had done a little bit better, just to keep the Grits honest. I'm a one-time NDP, now left-Liberal voter, and I worry that with such a huge majority, the Libs will end up charging full-speed ahead just like the PCs did eight years ago. At least we should get along better with the feds.
Post a reply to this commentErnie and Mike have caused a lot of damage. I think Dalton has his work cut out for him.

There was a great article in the Globe, the day after Lastman appeared on CNN. Inset, was a transcript of the interview with Globe corrections and clarifications marked as "note to Mel".
"WHO? Never heard of it!"...heh.
