Pretty damn sad that one large province can run the whole country down the toilet.

Seems Canada needs something similiar to our Senate; not that toothless patronage appoitment-based rubber stamp liberal Senate. Probably will never happen as long as Ontario keeps electing liberal anti-American and anti-West vermin to their Parliament.

I've been to Alberta and rural British Columbia, and the people are warm and friendly there. I have been to Ontario as well, and many times I get flipped the bird when one of Ontario's native sons sees my Ohio plates on the car, especially when traveling around Toronto.

I've had the opportunity to watch the propaganda media arm of the Liberal government the CBC, and you will see nothing but socialist propaganda, and experience seething hatred of things American. If it weren't for the wonderful folks out West, one would think that Canada is an enemy of the US.

Perhaps it is time that we encourage the American-based auto makers to bring their plants back to the US from Ontario?

I agree a stronger role for the provinces would make Canada's politics more accountable and also even the political playing field. That being said, its not hard to understand why Ontario and Quebec will never vote for a Western-based party. They're being asked to give up the spoils to make numerically insignificant provinces feel better. If you were an Ontario or Quebec voter, would you want to see your power and benefits diminished? The question answers itself. The Liberals will make sure Ontario stays on top and the Bloc looks out for Quebec's interests. The Conservatives are little more than a Western-based protest party, unless they give up their Western agenda. That will they will never do for no one else would want them. No wonder the Liberals are justly described as Canada's "natural governing party."

(Denny Crane: "I Don't Want To Socialize With A Pinko Liberal Democrat Commie.Say What You Like About Republicans. We Stick To Our Convictions. Even When We Know We're Dead Wrong.")

Yeah. I've had the same experience in Ontario. They don't like Americans. When I used to live in eastern Michigan I received the CBC TV and radio network and they REALLY don't like Americans. We scare them with our economy which is produce or get out, and we scare them with our foreign policy. Instead of appeasement of terrorists we confront them.

They live a good life in Ontario; God knows we have protected them. They don't want to be distrubed. They keep voting for the liberal crooks becasue they are sleep-walking though history.

I've said it before, I'll continue to say it. Canada should comprise the next six or so states of the Union. Everything but Quebec that is.

You are either with us or against us. The perfect excuse to tell them in no uncertain terms, what the terms are and if they don't like it, we are coming. As for their hatred of all things american? If you want to remain in North America, you better jump on the train or we are coming!

Normal Canadians are full fledged Americans all ready... remaining comments self censored.

"Pretty damn sad that one large province can run the whole country down the toilet."

Canada = 10 provinces
U.S.A = 50 states

Just to be fair, it's not difficult to draw a parallel to - and make a list of - 5 big states consistently attempting to do exactly the same thing.

Shall we start the list with New York?
Although, again in fairness and like Ontario, once you get beyond its urban areas it's chockablock full of wonderful decent folks who most definitely didn't vote for Hillary and/or Chuckie.

BTW, precisely the sort of Senate reform you've mentioned has long been near the top of most - even Ontario-based - Canadian Conservatives' agendas.
