Hey Marcus,

For the record, I love guv’ment-hatin, Toronto-hatin’ blood an’ guts heartland conservatives like Hillier, especially when they stand up in the Legislature and defend local butchers, like he did on December 13. Most folks wouldn’t expect there to be a square centimetre of common ground between Hillier and someone like Cheri DiNovo, but dumb policies will attact opposition from everywhere.

@OpenWookie: My feelings exactly. Unlike Marcus, you were able to point out a serious flaw with the Ontario Liberal party without pulling false generalizations out of your ass.

While Marcus’ view is extreme, he does have a point: McGuinty’s gov’t has shown a “protect the people from themselves” mentality that has bordered on the absurd at times. Remember the sushi debacle when the province wanted all sushi to be frozen solid first before serving it? Or McGuinty’s refusal to *even consider* allowing corner stores to sell a bottle of wine, because they “couldn’t be trusted to not sell to children”?

Overall the Libs have done a decent job of managing the province, but this overzealous “gov’t must protect everyone from everything” attitude has to go.

Serves them right for voting Liberal.

Ontarians hate commerce nearly as much as they hate private property so they should suck it up when the chickens come home to roost. Indie record store employees and Roncesvalles Villagers think Ontarians like Randy Hillier who fight these *exact* bureaucracies are rednecks, so fuck ‘em.
