What's he on about now?

In case the articles, essays and opinions throughtout this site just weren't enough for you, here's my online diary (a.k.a. 'blog'). It's as close as you'll come to the inside of my head, so don't say I didn't warn you

MEET THE NEW BOSS...SAME AS THE OLD BOSS...

I hope everyone in Ontario has had a chance to vote today -- the polls close at 8, I believe, and we cannot, cannot, cannot allow these Tory lunatics another chance to destroy Toronto. Under the one-two punch of the provincial PC party and mayor Mel Lastman, this city has been crippled. In the last few years, the downtown core has been a dreadful place to live and work, and that has got to change.

My only fear is that I don't see much in Liberal leader Dalton McGuinty that leads me to believe anything will improve. He's been maddeningly vague about his policies -- the way good Liberals always have been -- so I don't feel entirely safe about his apparently-imminent victory. At least he'll do less harm, mind you. I don't want to sound like those people in the States who allowed George Bush to take over because they saw "no difference" between him and Al Gore. Didn't these people have eyes and ears?

I do understand what they were getting at, though -- the concern that, like the Who song says, "we don't get fooled again." Dalton will have to work a little harder at convincing us that better times are ahead with him in charge.
