The Premier of Ontario phones Harper ...... a win win

by: majere

Mood: Torn between the endless drudgery of housework and the up feeling of the in-laws
Listening to: General Hospital, my wife, and CBC Newsworld

McGuinty phones Harper.

McGuinty complains of Ontario not recieving enough money in transfer payments even though Ontario is considered a "have" province and must share with the "have not" provinces.  Sounds fair right?

The win win comes from:

Harper stating that Ontario will recieve several more billion in transfer payments if they are elected as a majority government.  This might entice the Ontario electorate to leave the devil they know to vote for the devil with the promise of MONEY.  Harper and his Conservatives win by picking up some Ontario seats.

McGuinty wins by, if there is an election within his Provincial mandate can use the extra billions to "purchase" votes with the taxpayers own money  ensureing  another  Provincial  McGuinty  Liberal  win.

The Ontario electorate  do  bounce  back  and  forth  so  it  is  do-able  and  plausable.

The only item that comes to mind is from which Province will the money come from, if not Provincial, then what Programs, or from what level of taxpayer.

The Devil Does Not Want to Release Any Details.

I wonder why?

A small medical tip.

Mood: still up
Listening to: girls prostituting themselves on the next top model

Only several strains of cannabis actually cause a little paranoia in some people,  the remainder of paranoia is caused because of fear from the illegality and you just can't relax in case big brother is catching wind ..... got to go eat some brownies now.

Well after all the huffing and puffing (air, no announcement on legal cannabis yet) ........ no election soon.

Mood: pretty good as the in-laws from the rock are visiting
Listening to: not the in-laws...... the news silly.

I guess the Conservatives just are not showing any chances AT A MAJORITY yet as far as their polling goes.  Harper has alluded to the fact today when he said that Canadians are not ready for an election yet and that Ontario voters are willing to forgive the Liberals.

The Conservatives will not go to an election unless their polling shows a majority win.  The Conservatives WILL NOT ACCEPT A MINORITY WIN, therefore no forced election.

The way I think, he is just being polite and that what he really wants to say is that ..... he is pissed at Ontario for not thinking his way with his values with his ideals yet.  As if Ontario ever will eh.

Harper cannot understand how people can look at two evils and stay with the devil they know. 

Ontario sticks with the devil they know.
The west sticks it to Ontario by voting cons at an attempt to balance power.
The East sticks with the Libs due to hand outs .... I lived in Nova Scotio for 7 yrs and New Brunswick for two years with a spouse from the Rock, I have seen it and have heard it.
Quebec likes the Libs also for their free spending of Have provinces money for Quebec.

His polling I bet ya still shows the status quo with the Bloc picking off a couple of Liberal seats.

Still looking at a Liberal minority.

Election timing now mid fall.

The Liberals pulled Kyoto to appease the NDP and prevent a budget government defeat.  Now the Libs can use the budget with the Eastern offshore revenue gains as an election selling point next election and how the Conservatives were willing to defeat the budget and the Eastern revenue program.

A Liberal lie in the making as Harper said today he would pass the Eastern revenue Bill this afternoon, no problem.  Prior to that, the Conservatives were against it one hundred percent, so a Conservative spun lie in the making.

Who will get THEIR spun, lying version out to the Eastern Masses.  My thoughts are the Liberals will easily as they are already on top of the hill with the Conservatives fighting the up hill battle.

The NDP still do count.  They have clung on hoping the environment and the Kyoto Accord would actually galvanize the masses.  Sorry socialist dudes and dudettes, today the environment does not effect me, tomorrow I know it will not affect me, next year I know it will not affect me, and I am prepared to accept the consequences 20 yrs down the road as I, and I am sure everyone has calculated the risk reward scenerio in and for  their environmental life.   Now stay out of mine as you, the NDP have proven that individual soverignty is not one of your Partys' strong suits. 

All parties still suck and lie, except for the Bloc who tell it like it is as Quebecois residents are the most politically informed anyway (you can't lie to the informed)
