que?

Well, there you have it again. Canadian government being determined in part by ethnic groups based on what the parties' stances are vis their homeland. Funny how the party that stridently pro a certain country suddenly gains almost universal support from a certain ethnic group and suddenly has monstrous amounts of cash to bolster its war chest. I thought this only happened the the delusional minds of anti-certain ethnic groups and has no basis in fact, is bigoted, racist, and stereotypical...

What about organized crime on Six Nations? A lot of the crime in the region centers around Six Nations.

This is typical of the paranoia and rumor that apparently swirls through Six Nations on a continuous basis. Wasn't it Joseph Brant who was breaking the law in the first place when he sold off much of the so-called Haldimand Tract? Whatever the case, my guess is that you've never read a law book dealing with property in your life, and couldn't comprehend it if you gave it a try. So you shrill bluster and obnoxious hysterics isn't accomplishing anything other than making yourself look like a fool. Rule of law sometimes means that you don't win, no matter how justified you think you are. Something tells me that you're not content with anything except exactly what you want, so appeals to the "rule of law" are completely disingenuous.

"Editorials are written by members of the editorial board. They represent the position of the newspaper, not necessarily the individual author." I think they did so for the sake of you not making a public fool out of yourself.

There seems to be a new international political movement afoot, and I'm wondering whether now that the Greens appear to have eclipsed, is it possible that this will become the new global cause? http://www.pp-international.net/forum/viewforum.php?f=20

HAHAHAHA... oh, yeah, we got something like $350 MILLION, which is not all that much in the grand scheme of things. Not sure what the federal government being in Ottawa has to do with it--this doesn't automatically make it favour the province. Especially when there's a westerner like Harper at the helm. McGuinty tried to get people's attention that the feds were not being co-operative, but not many paid attention. But propose a new tax, then people wake up fast. Maybe if people weren't so apathetic and paid more attention to provincial politics, we wouldn't have gotten to this point. The people of Ontario have to stand up against the federal gov't, not McGuinty.

I suppose I haven't been paying close enough attention so I'm not sure about the extent of this flip-flopping, but in general he seems to be taking the standard populist approach that served the PCs well for many decades before it all fell apart in the mid-80s and Harris/Eves saw fit to ignore. People in Ontario don't want to be bothered by provincial politics--they just want the government to run smoothly. But you have to admit McGuinty is an unenviable position: finances were screwed up by Harris/Eves, the federal government is staunchly anti-Ontario, and now an historic global economic crisis...

If this is really what they're concerned about then why aren't they going after Native and Asian racists as well?

In my religion men are allowed to cast twenty ballots in an election.

So just a coincidence that the next day EC claims that it wants to experiment with on-line voting? An archaic FPTP system, people voting with masked identities, people voting from the comfort of "their own home"... what's next? Vote by skee ball?

I don't use a cell phone, hopefully never will. Society functioned before these things existed, so there technically is no need for them and other technological gadgets that in the end really make us more dependent and vulnerable.

Well, it's not like the NDP was going to become a serious political force in the province any time soon anyway, so...

Whoever gets nominated, it won't matter. It will take a generation at least for the PCs to recover from the Harris/Eves disaster.

So why should he listen to you as opposed to any one of millions of other Ontarians? What makes your opinion more valid or worthy of consideration. I'm opposed to the HST, but the HST is a result of Ontario being constantly shafted by the federal government, is it not? Look at how much money Ontario has forked out to support all of the other provinces; what if that money had been used to invest in Ontario and to prepare for times like these? In general, McGuinty has done a number of good things for the province, and has succeeded in getting us back on course after the problem years under Rae and Harris/Eves.
