I'm with Colchar on this regarding the Lie-ibrals, I just can't go for them, even if they did have other good things, the bad stuff is just outa whack.

I can totally understand why a teacher, lecturer would vote for them, but that's a decision they will have to live with to get the best for them selves.

Still undecided here, they spend more time slagging each other off than actually saying what they can do for us.?

Of course it's sustainable, the province has always been in debt in modern times. You can't do the things you need to do without financing some debt any more than you can invest in the property market without a mortgage (generally speaking).





First of all, they haven't closed them as the last one will not close until the end of this year. Second, they promised to close them all by 2007 but, as usual, they screwed that up. and third, their energy conservation measures are both a joke and a scandal (taking away the rights of municipalities and forcing wind turbines onto rural areas that did not want them).

I am not advocating that anyone vote for the Conservatives, or any other party for that matter, as I voted NDP

Considering it's election day and I'm STILL on the fence about what to do, I can't decide if it makes me feel better or worse that Oakville is 72% likely to end up Liberal.

Every vote counts, though... really hoping everyone who is eligible to vote DOES go vote!!!

oh I'm definitely going to vote and I think seeing how close it actually is has helped me form a decision.

Sounds like BC's election last year, people complained about wanting change (seems people were complaining like crazy in ON about the leaders in charge) but on election day kept the same party to run things. But unions lose in BC with BC Liberals in charge, they are very anti-union, and corporation friendly. (not sure where ON Liberals stand on unions.)

Oh, what a shame.

Little Tim "Bugs Bunny" Hudak has resigned.
