When I heard the reports this morning of McGuinty making fun of the debate and his opponents to the point of giving them the moniker of "HoJo", I think that McGuinty looking like Norman Bates or anyone else for that matter is fair game. <BR/><BR/>Honestly, the very fact that McGuinty has the nerve to make fun of the debate is pretty insulting in itself. <BR/><BR/>However, what the Liberals and Metroland did this morning was really offensive. If you didn't see it the Liberals paid for frontpage advertizing in Metroland. Metroland printed it as if it were front page news. The caption being that McGuinty won the debate. <BR/><BR/>This is a very desperate move on the part of the Liberals and a clear sign that Metroland thinks GTA voters are stupid and fell for the con job.

Here in Manitoba, I didn't even get to see a leadership debate because it was only aired on "Shaw TV". Doer refused to debate on an actual network, and even with the Shaw debate he wouldn't participate unless they agreed to accept the NDP's format changes. Add to that the fact that the major newspaper here is owned by a good buddy of Doer's, and you can begin to see how Doer gets away without being held accountable for any of his failures.<BR/><BR/>I wish you guys luck out there in ON.
