From Toronto Sun

Just as McGuinty and the Working Families Coalition are about to attempt a three-peat con job on Ontario voters, the world is crumbling. Greece, Ireland, Britian and now the mighty United States are being crushed by, guess what? Government debt.

This year, we voters just might care about debt. Which is bad news for McGuinty and his buddies.

After Dalton and the gang fade into the history books Ontarians will still be stuck with the tab . Ontario’s debt is a generational challenge that will take political perseverance and time to overcome.

Henry IV  of France is credited with coining the phrase, “a chicken in every pot”. This morning Kelly McParland of the national Post pokes fun of the phrase and the Ontario Liberals at the same time.

We are just entering the dog days of summer, and Staples has not even started airing  their extremely annoying back-to-school commercials. However, over at 308.com Éric has already posted ridings to watch in the upcoming provincial election. The articles totally worth a read for those who are interested. It puts the latest numbers released by Ipsos-Reid earlier this week in context .


 Finally, I believe we live in a poll driven political climate, where political commentators  are almost obliged to analyze every last morsel of data, until we the news consuming public are deluged with polls and predictions. For that reason, I will try to refrain from posting updates on every single poll that comes out of Ontario.
