Dalton not Stephen won the election

Mcguinty, not Harper, won the election last night. A cool and calm voice of reason asked for fairness for Ontarians, as we all know that building a strong Ontario for a strong Canada makes for a strong Confederation, the Government of Ontario's Fairness campaign stated just that. In a time Liberals need a sense of direction, Dalton has found it by attacking Stephen's anybody but Ontario interprovincial spending budget, especially when the federal mandate is weakened yet again by a third straight minority government in four consecutive years, with the results being obvious election night, as the federal Tories put their money down on Québec or nothing, gaining little in seats from their side with a -1 loss and much in alienation from ours with a +11 gain. A year before the big fiscal bust, Harper's Minister of Finance and former Mike Harris Tory Jim Flaherty calls our home "the worst place to invest", I would simply say to him that it also is "the worst place to run and represent", if you are going to make harmful statements like that about your home province. Ontario Liberals are far away from perfect, but they are right about Ontario and the need for interprovincial fairness in the Confederation right here and right now, perhaps the problem is they are too quiet on the issue, leadership is about being loud, the exact time for Ontario to gain that will be here soon.
