If you read a lot about who's who in power in Ontario, notice what the Premiers' last names were like? Umm, let's see...MacDonald, Whitney, Hardy, Ferguson, Conant, Drew, Frost, Davis, Miller, Harris. They are Ukrainian names. Yeah right.
And BTW, as your election last year shows, Canada has 61% of people supporting the Left, while this country is bitterly divided at 49-50% in September's election with almost identical conditions. Enough said about it - at least we aren't even as bad as you when it comes to leftism (though it is still far too left-wing relatively to Australia).

Another display of ignorance bordering upon racism.
Aside from half of your list pre-dating the primarily post-WWII Ukrainian immigration to Ontario* and additionally being comprised of roughly as many Scottish as English surnames (so much for your actually pre-Confederation 'Family Compact' theories), you've chosen to ignore an extensive list of Ukrainian-Canadians who've figured prominently as Ontario Cabinet Ministers over the past 4 decades.
Not surprisingly, given your on-going intellectual dishonesty - not to mention self-serving evasiveness when it comes to answering criticism - your definition of 'left' plainly becomes much more vague and/or forgiving depending upon which side of the equator you're focusing on.
Gotta hand it to you though, accusations of inbred colonial mentality coming from someone from Hong Kong actually tops the concept of a New Zealander lecturing anyone about the nanny state.
Plus, given that Canadians died defending Hong Kong from Japanese Fascism, your habitual sniping at us across many threads is completely unseemly.
* the wave(s) of Ukrainian immigration to Western Canada occurred mainly prior to WWI and immediately after it.

Can you figure out what GMMAC is foaming at the mouth about? I can't.
