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.

Well, the worst is yet to come- he's promised to eliminate coal-fired generating stations by 2007. That's nearly a third of our capacity and there are no plans to build that much generation in so short a time.

Eves was a faux-Conservative all along. He mouthed the words of conservative policies but it was easy to see he didn't believe in them. He'd be a perfect fit with the RINOs in Congress.
