Remember: Ford holds just one seat in the Provincial Parliament and his vote is worth no more no less than that of any other MPP. Unless the other MPs are foolish slaves to the party leader, we have little to worry about. We'll see.

Now if all of the PC MPPs are foolish slaves to the party leader, then we have a problem. If we're lucky, most of the PC candidates elected would be more principled ones with the less principled ones having lost to more principled NDP or Liberal candidates. We can always hope.

A truly principled MPP will not hesitate to sit as an independent if he must.

Sorry, it doesn't work that way. Want a cabinet position? Kiss ass. Want a seat in caucus? Kiss more ass. Want to help your constituents with big$$$ goodies? Kiss kiss kiss.

Ever heard of a party whip?

Ever heard of Guido the Enforcer?

Do you have no concept of how our governments actually works? The Liberals were chained to Wynn. The Federal Liberals are chained to Trudeau. You don't go against your party and expect to stay in your party.

I did specify a principled MPP. I can tell you that any principled MPP will be sitting as a backbencher.

But guess what! He still gets his vote that's no more no less important than the Premier's.

Scott Reid voted against Harper a few times and sometimes spoke out against his party when he disagreed with it. Yes, he sat as a backbencher too; but my point is that no divine law obligates an MPP to kowtow to the Premiere.

If the general public voted for party slaves, then we'll reap what we sowed.

McFly.

Wake up McFly.


They already confirmed the PCs will have the highest deficits with minimal investment into the economy, leading to higher debt.


How are you people this dumb? lol

WHo confirmed it? Someone else with your lack of economic skills?

Try pennicilin to clear that up.
I think Spanish Fly would work better for that problem.

Boy the cons are touchy today. No sense of humour at all.You would think they would be rejoicing having wrestled power away from those demonic liberals. Their hero, Doug, the wanna be Trumpkin, won. I wonder if there will be free crack to go around at the victory party.
