Ontario- Post Election and other musings

Well another 4 years of Dalton McGuinty, it really could have been different had John Tory run even a good campaign, Tory screwed the pooch with the funding of religious schools idea in the PC platform, he should have just left it alone and focused on giving more funding for school's, Tory's idea of funding religious schools put him on the defensive from the start of the campaign and in reality stopped him from bringing up the real issues like health care and education. John Tory made his bed and now will have to face the facts that his days as leader of the Ontario Conservatives are over, I'm hopefull that the party will elect a leader that will take the party in a new direction (more towards the Mike Harris days).

As for Dalton's promises, he came out today in announcing a new stat holiday in February, I personally don't like the idea of another holiday in the winter. It should only be a matter of time before he comes out with the speed limiter legislation on trucks, in reality they really should limit all vehicles to 110 kmh, I can only hope that common sense prevails on this issue, but I somehow doubt it.

My last election night thought, thank god the people of Ontario had enough sense to reject the MMP proposal, If your party can't win a riding why the hell should they get a seat in the first place.

The Baseball playoffs resume tonight with the LCS in the National League, I likie the Rockies in this series, I love thier offensive lineup and thier never quit attitude, I'm picking the Rockies to win in 6 games.....In the American League I like the Indians who have 2 stud pitchers in thier rotation, thier lineup is equal to Boston the only edge I would give Boston is thier Closer Jonathan Papelbon who doesn't scare the hell out of me like Joe Borowski does, having said that the Indians should win in 7.
