There is talk now that Ontario may elect a minority government in the upcoming election. My advice: leaders should avoid making promises about what they would or would not do to form government. Once the people have spoken and the seat counts are settled, only then can the parties know what

Both the PCs and Liberals have committed to spending almost $2 billion dollars on another wave of corporate tax cuts. But the PCs go further by comm…

Poor, poor Hugh. He`s stuck playing Charlie Brown……again. I can only imagine the scene over at the Omega Theta Pi Frat House when they were discussing their latest scheme. “Hey, Hugh!”, says brother Neidermeyer, “I know how we can fix that Greg Selinger, real good!” “How’s that?”, says Hugh. “Let’s challenge him!”, says Neidermeyer. “Challenge […]
The Happy Wanderer: Vote Compass Ontario
The CBC is at it again. And being someone who follows politics I find it very enjoying to try these voting compasses. Even though I can’t vote in the up coming election me being not in the province in question and all. It is still slight…
Continue readingThe Happy Wanderer: The Jewish Vote!
Jews have at least traditionally voted liberal or left leaning when it comes to politics at least in N.A. In Canada they tend to vote Liberal or NDP more than Conservative. But now the Jewish vote has been moving to the right. Although Liberals and Con…

It should have been easy to run McGuinty out of town. Why, he raised taxes! Horrors! There’s unemployment and everyone blames unemployment on the current government. Gas prices are high. That green energy thing seems like such a rip off. And still, Timmy-boy, you screwed it up. You screwed it

Continue readingThe Happy Wanderer: Ontario Could Stay Red.
threehundredeight.com has a new projection in the province of Ontario. It predicts that Ontario will be an even split. 44 Liberals, 44 Tories and 19 NDP. Which means a split government that would probably give Mcguinty another term in office. It seems …

There’s a reason the Republicans and Conservatives seem obstructionist both while in government and in opposition. Prorogation at every turn in Canada, and filibustering every routine bill in the States has helped mis/uninformed or “low-information voters” conclude that government is ineffective at solving problems through collaboration, legislation, and science. This is an intentional trick being […]
On the Ontario Liberal platform.
I had planned to go point-by-point through the OLP’s platform, like I did the OPC and ONDP. But, well — the platform really wasn’t worth the wait.Here’s the Cliff Notes version:Harris was awful — never named, just “previous PC governments”, which is …

So far in my last two post I have said that after the three elections; 2004, 2006 and 2008. The Liberals would likely win a by-election where Jack Layton would no longer be running, but a by-election today wouldn’t be that Liberal leaning. The Reason: …

Now That I am done explaining how Liberals would have been very much able to win a by election in Ontario let’s look at now the 2006 election. In 2006 Liberals went in the country and in Ontario. In Toronto Danforth the Liberal candidate al…

Toronto-Danforth is going to have an election very soon in order to fill the vacancy. This riding has only voted NDP since 2004 when Jack Layton just after Jack Layton became leader of the NDP. Now that Jack Layton has sadly died is it possible for us …

Three provincial election will be held in October, and all of them after each other. The first election is on October 3rd in PEI, and right now unless something drastic happens it seems like the Liberals will win one more majority government …

CAW head ken Lewenza is advocating for the Liberal party to have a coalition with the NDP. The fact of the matter is that the Liberals don’t need a merger with the NDP. The NDP come from a completely left-ward mind set. While we Liberals are …

Being the change you want to see in the world — it’s not just a clever slogan, it’s the only direct way someone can change their circumstances. Here are some stories of people doing things differently to make a difference for others. I plan to work on Victor’s campaign this Fall, as Saskatchewan goes to […]
Saskboy's Abandoned Stuff: Past Irony
I find it ironic that Jack Layton was saying in the early 1990s what I was saying about the televised leaders debates in 2011 for the federal election. The independent media should set up debates, and if a party doesn’t show up, have a card-board cutout of the missing leader to demonstrate their absence. In […]
