Yeah, I had heard that Flaherty was the most conservative of the candidates and Eves was the most liberal, and that electing Eves would work against them.

Well while I'm not watching baseball tonight, I'll check in and see the results. Probably won't like what I see, but I'll still take a peek.

Well Flaherty survived, as did Eves, but Clement didn't . NDP dropped to 7 seats losing official party status.

With a Liberal majority in power Ontario will be shutting down for business . McGuinty is already in trouble. Those special interest groups he courted will want gratification now and he can't deliver. He's got 70 new backbenchers all screaming for attention . His promise of limited class room sizes requires an estimated 5000 teachers and uncounted extra classrooms.
Promises of thousands of nurses to be hired and the elimination of private medical services. Not going to happen considering he also promised no increased taxes and no deficit.

Watch for him to try and harmonize the PST with the Feds GST. That means taxing a lot of things that are now provincially exempt . Taxing tax which is illegal but goes on anyway..

Like I said, One step back. In 4 years, Two ahead.
