friend I'm not sure there are a lot of "middle of the roaders" in the Province of Ontario. The Conservatives that are in Ontario are great Conservatives but it seems to me that the Liberals, no matter what they do, have a real stranglehold on people's minds. Perhaps that is just the Greater Toronto area. I have to believe that the folks in the suburbs are getting a little sick of being robbed.
You know Martin reminds me a lot of Clinton, no matter what they are CAUGHT doing, they act like nothing happened. It was bizzare to watch Martin and the rest of his party standing there clapping at their OWN DEFEAT?? I think one of the posters said it best - False bravado!!
I wouldn't mind working at your school btw. CO
I was going to add that about the 'middle of the roadsters'! Certainly true around the UofA, but certainly more pinkos. It seems like every other day is some sort of 'raising awareness' or 'give more of our $ to the UN' week.... Once I'm away from campus, I have met many good people in AB. Periodically I see a car with a Bush/Cheney sticker on it.
A friend of mine from school spent a few months in Toronto, he said that the vast majority of the people he worked with out there were conservative. I can't imagine the cost of living outside of AB. With GST + provincial sales tax. That alone has to attract lots of business to AB and away from elsewhere.
Anyone like Clinton is scary. He could slip in a cow pie and come out smelling like roses with this media.
The suburbs used to hate to be robbed, but the influx of immigrants and the migration from 416 to 905 has changed that dramatically. There is no real "center" in Ontario; you have the hinterlands which are almost as right-wing as Alberta, then you have the very liberal urban core areas, especially Toronto which is one of the most liberal cities in North America.
