Hi Jim,

No offence intended, but it's obvious that you don't know too much about our beloved Premier "Dad " Dalton McGuinty, or what his Liberal reign has meant to us long-suffering residents of Ontario...

Just ask any VE3-type about wind-generation, "no new taxes", the harmonized sales tax, ad nauseam.
