Campaign chair Greg Sorbara, key architect of the 2003 landslide when the Liberals won 72 of 103 seats to the Tories' 24, predicted "a strong victory."
"Certainly a majority. There is no appetite in Ontario to change the government," said Sorbara.
Well then. Perhaps we should just cancel the actual vote. No need to bother, right?
Yesterday afternoon, I was listening to a phone-in show from Toronto where the hosts were asking the listening audience if Dalton's broken promises made a difference in how they would vote. One woman called in and said she would vote Liberal no matter what; that they all make promises and everyone knows they won't keep them.
Has it really come to this? Is a promise just a bunch of meaningless words designed to achieve some goal?
If we don't even expect accountability in government, where are we headed?

Oh, and here's Warren Kinsella in his 'hardest decision I've ever had to make in my life' moment (background here in case you've forgotten):
Thanks, McWar. Or is it DalKin?
Don't choke on your humble pie.
And I deserved to get in trouble.
In case you thought I'd forgotten. Which I haven't. And I won't.
Thanks, McWar. Or is it DalKin?
Don't choke on your humble pie.

Well, well, well - John Tory got caught blatanly lying in the debate - right Tory - man of integrity.
What do you expect a party to say - yup we're going to lose.
Your comments are silly, but then again you spend all your time bashing don't you.

See what happens when a party only needs 38% of the vote to get a "majority"? They get mighty uppity. :)
Btw Joanne, I would really like your reaction to Andrew Coyne's "Conservative's Case For Electoral Reform" in today's Post. I think he is bang on, but I would like to hear what you think.

Greg, I glanced at it this morning, but had a few other things on the go. I plan to get back to it and really study it, because I respect Coyne. I promise to respond to that in the next day or two. (But don't take my word on that, because promises are made to be broken).
;)
Let's all get this straight. Anon. 10:26 is crying about uncovering the poor record of the Liberals. Calls it "bashing"(could this be an educator?)
It is what it is anon. It's what happens when a guy makes 231 promises and breaks them. It's what happens when the "entitled" think they can give away our taxdollars without anyone catching on.
It's what happens when a guy calls himself an "education" premier who, when kids aren't meeting his own standards and at the rate of improvement, will not for another 10 years.
It's what happens when lottery scams are uncovered.
It's what happens when the same guy crying "segretation" chooses a segregated religious education for his kids.
It's simply what happens when too many people feel screwed, overtaxed, underemployes and when government becomes arrogant, shuts down parliament early and they works hard to buy votes and con voters through bogus headlines(Metroland).
Arrogance IS McGuinty. Blowing off the debate yesterday's all the proof Ontarians need about how arrogant he has become.
He's not a leader.

I'm very intrigued by that. Do you have any links or proof? Anything? I'm not trying to dispute this; just wanting some back-up info. Thanks.
Attack the prior Anon and ignore Tory's lies...uh, huh.
How many promises by Tory now? Ah, 240 something?
Well, well, well - John Tory got caught blatanly lying in the debate - right Tory - man of integrity.
Could you point to the specific reference please? If you're talking about the Urquhart piece, Dalton and Hampton did there share too.
In any case, there is a difference between telling a lie, and being misinformed. However in a debate, either one is inexcusable.
