Just remember to shut up and vote Liberal because they have more important things than to talk to us moronic, stupid, gibbled, waste of time voters.
Are you going to add to the discussion, or just pull out that crap each and every time this line of thought is introduced? Hey, I can do it too. Ontario, pinko, Liberal, stupid, sheep, anti-american, Liberal-crooks.........beware!!!!. Wow, that was fun and informative, lets do it again.......NDP, communists, snake oil salesman, pinkos, stupid, socialists, EVIL, stupid!!!!!!!!

I've seen a ton of smear coming from every party, it is unfortunately part of the package come election time. The newest ads that have been put out by the Liberals in Ontario, are purely fear-mongering.
"remember Mike Harris? Remember the 'common sense revolution'? Remember crumbling schools and closing hospitals? Remember the loss of public services? Remember increasing defecits? Do we want another Mike Harris?"
This may not be a wise train of thought, as people here either loved Harris, or hated him. Those that loved Harris, blame everything on Eves, his replacement. Those that hated him, are already well reminded of his record. The Liberals here have made positive improvements in Ontario. Locally, improvements have been made;
at the public school, where portables were replaced by actual class rooms.
at the hospital, where a million dollar upgrade to the building and equipment finally occured.
a new clinic was built, and 5 new doctors came to town, to get us off the under-serviced list.
and provincially, the budget was really balanced, without a raise in taxes.
However;
The Liberals showed that they weren't willing to go all of the way toward repairing how the province does business. Instead of putting key players in cabinet posts, such as former corrections opposition critic Steve Peters, who had 8 years of knowledge in the field into the Minister of Corrections, they placed a retired business manager in that post.
The Liberals made their adaptations to the new YCJA, creating neighbourhood tribunals, and alternative measures, to replace custody facilities. Judges are still allowing double credit for remand time, and shorter sentences, showing the Liberals as soft on crime.
The people around here remember Harris, but we also remember Cretian and Martin. We remember struggling beef farmers, we remember an election promise to eliminate the GST. Harris made his buddies wealthy, so did Jean. Harris lied to the public, so did Jean.
Harper wants the provinces to try to stand on their own. Is this such a bad thing? Harper will improve Canada-US relations, which can also have several positive aspects.
