Rae is no loss.
Harper was a Liberal, then Reform, then Conservative (or his invention of one). What's that say? It says he is out for himself and his ego and any party will do as long as it gets him his goal.
"rumours that Rae may take a shot a running for mayor of Toronto"
???
Rae said Wednesday that it was a “very difficult decision” to resign, though he will devote himself to his role as chief negotiator for First Nations in northern Ontario, who are in talks with the province about the resource-rich “Ring of Fire” mining area.

Rae lost me years ago when he promised to take on the insurance companies and didn't. Insurance is the scam from beginning to end.
Lets not forget Harris.
Basically all parties and leaders have had their kick at the can. None, inevitably, can be trusted. This is why we need a complete change of our political and electoral system and rules to govern our employees called.........politicians.
True and technically that was the fault of the voters for not asking ''how''......he was going to keep his promises. He virtually put Ontario in a tail spin in the process. Then like McGuinty he tucked his tail between his legs and ...........ran!
Mike Harris elected again? Now there's a bet I'd like to get in on! Harris is as much the bubonic plague in Ontario as Rae is, or the recent McGuinty. I think if you look up Harris's time in office and legacy you will find that there is a lot more to say about him and none of it was good.
Harris said what he would do, then he did it in his own dictatorial way, the details of which he had not disclosed. So in essence he stabbed everyone in the back. If Harris said he would save all the birds, people would have cheered! That's until he brought out how he would do it..........by killing everyone's cat.

The more and more I look at people, politicians especially, the less and less I care. The people of Ontario and Canada, need to get angry. We're all too complacent. If they ever decide to rise up, I'll be glad to join and go on the front line, but until then, they're a waste of time and effort. We need a total change in our political system for starters. We need to get control of our employees and not allow them to be kings or queens on our time or buck. Right now you live in a city with a mayor who is a disgrace and a council that is more like a gang on PCP. Now I read this morning in the news that they want to cancel the buses on Dundas St. From municipal to Provincial to Federal, the inmates are running the asylum.
Wellington and Dundas is 'downtown'! My apologies for not being precise.
What businesses are all for this........and why? It makes no sense taking hundreds of people a day and thousands upon thousands a year and putting them further away from shopping.
