If we are apathetic and don't vote or care who wins, we deserve what we will get - another minority government.
It's time for a change. If you are a Liberal, yes I know that all governments have their skeletons, but surely it is time for someone else to form a government. We have all seen Premier Wynne's ad showing her jogging along a country road.
Have you noticed that she is running on the wrong side of the road? Let's put someone in who is running on the right side.

Don't forget to vote!
"The Budget should be balanced, the Treasury should be refilled,
public debt should be reduced, the arrogance of officialdom should be
tempered and controlled, and the assistance to foreign lands should be
curtailed, lest Rome will become bankrupt. People must again learn to work
instead of living on public assistance." - Cicero, 55 BC
So, evidently we've learned nothing over the past 2,069 years.

Great win for the Libs. Four family members now secure in their 100k/yr jobs. On the dark side more Wynne turbines to block Prior's view of lake Huron plus much higher hydro costs. Not to mention four more years of scams and mis management.

I'm not happy with a majority win. Personally I would have liked an NDP non-majority win with the Liberals on the side. Hudak I wanted gone at all costs!
I've never been anti-Conservative, but I have been very anti-Radical and that's why I have always hated people like Harper and Harris and Hudak. These are not the Conservatives of the past, these are tyrants who have sold their souls long ago.
In the world we live in one has to be happy with what we get. In other parts of the world their lives are a disaster. We should be grateful for what we have.
