McGuinty could run the same ad in Ontario, about the PC Party of Ontario, which ran massive majorities by running *to the left* of the Liberals back in my father's day, and jump 5%. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Progressive_Conservative_Party_of_OntarioMr. Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06319748084679909911noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8543717098552457095.post-27512027568053645162012-04-15T16:31:36.860-07:002012-04-15T16:31:36.860-07:00People in Ontario would rather listen to John Tory...People in Ontario would rather listen to John Tory on the radio rather than Dave Rutherford. <br /><br />Nenshi's all-but-endorsement of Smith did not make the Ontario papers, so far as I know. It certainly wasn't reported prominently. Because Nenshi is a Liberal, and his election as mayor of Calgary (and Redford's ascent to leadership of the PC Party of Alberta) was supposed to herald the dawn of a more progressive Alberta. Oops. <br /><br />If Smith's win is as big as predicted, the Globe's editorial staff will pop a vein. I'm reminded of John Ibbitson's freak-out over the ADQ becoming official opposition in Quebec in '07. http://www.macleans.ca/canada/national/article.jsp?content=20070327_095238_7432 Expect something like that. <br /><br />In the meantime, nobody will report on McGuinty's mistakes, except me.Mr. Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06319748084679909911noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8543717098552457095.post-58244890254482172872012-04-15T14:54:10.611-07:002012-04-15T14:54:10.611-07:00The usual straw persons have been troted out for a...The usual straw persons have been troted out for a looksee. Abortion and gay issues are not what Wildrose is about. We want government spending under control, less regulation and respect for individual property rights and speech. These are the drivers in this election.

So I voted correctly with respect to them.<br /><br />I don't think you'll win people by tricking them into thinking you are something you are not. Don't be ashamed of being conservative. Say it loud and say it proud. Don't be polite. Burst that arrogant self-congratuling Kinsella clone's bubble with facts and argements. Listen to the enemy and understand their arguments so well that you can have their side of the debate for them. Thats when you are the master of the discussion. You can lead them anywhere you like without them even knowing. It will become clear who is the right choice when all they've got is casting sinster aspersions and dog whistle inferences.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14162628029353058623noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8543717098552457095.post-43438448428053413052012-04-15T14:12:34.927-07:002012-04-15T14:12:34.927-07:00I have read many blogs and opinions why Conservati...I have read many blogs and opinions why Conservatives in Alberta no longer believed in the ABPC's. Many of them could point to the latest scandal, lack of fiscal restraint, failure to protect and advance individual responsibility as a key factor for success.<br />For most it was the endless encroaching and bullying that is too common when a political party believes they are too big to fail. They ignore the muscle cramps of their volunteers, front lines who call in sick.<br />The writing on the wall about the death of the ABPC is something to be admired. It is a pity we in Ontario can't move as fast to take out the trash when it begins to smell bad.CanadianSensehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01010880162544507668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8543717098552457095.post-2718692620369518412012-04-15T14:10:12.084-07:002012-04-15T14:10:12.084-07:00Albertans have David Rutherford a radio show who d...Albertans have David Rutherford a radio show who does a job that no other in Ontario can do as you can see for yourself 'Dalton is still there.<br /><br />In Alberta we are told reminded and talked about daily of the provincialy government of Alberta.<br /><br />In other words Albertans are well informed by David to their provincial government situation.<br /><br />I trust the Albertans to make the right decision for their province.<br /><br />When Alison R. brought up the subject NEP to the PM, he wasn't to happy to hear about. <br /><br />What amazes me is how the media in ontario and ottawa and surrounding area talk about alberta with concerns; I wonder why frankly since Dalton has driven Ontario to a 'have not' province.Jennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8543717098552457095.post-40231618698937834292012-04-15T13:42:04.685-07:002012-04-15T13:42:04.685-07:00By the way, notice that I wrote that there would b...By the way, notice that I wrote that there would be discussions at length.
