Ontario??? I thought they were Canada's version of California!! (Left leaning)
Socialist NPD is now in second place for the first time. They’ve almost swept Quebec. The separatist bloc is all but dead. Their clownish leader lost his own seat. An NPD college student who doesn’t speak French and just got back from Vegas won a Quebec seat. Lots of nobody candidates who thought they were gonna be sacrificial lambs.
The NDP (What is New Democratic about Socialism??) swept Quebec??
a college student from Las Vegas won?? I didn't know Nevadans had a riding!!! /s
Liberals are now a rump. Their leader lost his own seat as well. He had the perfect pedigree to be a Prime Minister. LOL.
I hope 2012 the Dems will see the same results as the Liberal got!!!
The Green party leader, a stupid slag who thinks children should vote, may be elected in British Columbia.
Yes, children should vote!!! Right after they graduate from High school and get a job!! /s
FWIW. Federally the Liberals had a powerful presence in Ontario. However, in provincial election many years ago, the provincial Liberal government under Premier Peterson, lost to the NDP. All over an overly optimistic statement about the deficit. Said it was zero.
It was just under 4 billion dollars though. The NDP got in on the "scandal" bolstered by the press. They were elected to power. After a year they put Ontario into a 20 million dollar extra debt. Standard and Poors claimed the A rating of Ontario would go down and warned if it was another 20 million the next year. It would face bankruptcy. Bye bye NDP provincial government.
The NDP had spent widely on some sort of stimulus monies and it did not work. Thus the huge overspending at comparitive exchange rates. Hence a distrust of the now former NDP premier Bob Rae in fiscal matters- he is now a high placed Liberal
Quebec is by far the most left wing province, not Ontario.
One the NPD candidates in a Quebec seat can hardly speak French and went on Vacation to Las Vegas during the height of the campaign. She won anyway.
