I assure you – anyone who sits idlely by and does not stand up for their community because the Premier tells them not to isn’t worthy of my vote, and won’t get it. I’ve provided my MPP with a couple of proposals to amend the bill in a way that better protects the right of citizen’s to dissent and creating environmental protections in line with Europe. No movement on that front. The wind industry has donated hundreds of thousands to the Ontario Liberal Party, and in turn the government has subsidized the wind industry by tens of millions a year. Simply put, on this issue, the voices of individual citizens is being completely ignored by folks who have a fairly committed financial arrangement that isn’t in our best interest and we’re not part of.

I don’t hate the Liberals with a passion, in fact a number of my close friends are very active within the Liberal Party. I am still friendly with the elected Liberals I know and agree to disagree with the staffers I have come to know over the years. It is in fact the Premier and the Deputy Premier who have waged ‘quite the campaign’ against my community, calling valid concerns that would be recognized anywhere in Europe ‘absurd’, ‘artificial lather’, gamemenship, and dismissed us as ‘not in my back yard’ types.

They don’t respond to letters, they deny us our voice within the legislative process and distort our arguments in the media.

It would be unreasonable to vote for someone who is so thick headed they won’t even listen to the other side before passing a bill literally written by industry for industry.

At this point, I see both the NDP and the PCs standing up for folks, and am well aware should either of them form the next government – they too will likely do something and upset folks in a way similar to what the Premier has done to hundreds of thousands of Ontarians in the last number of months.

That being said, all I’m doing is joining the folks who ‘vote the bums out’ instead of blindly voting for a guy who’d sooner legislate away my right to speak, while stripping important environmental legislation.

However unfortunate a position to be in, it seems like the reasonable thing to do.

By the sounds of this blog and the vitriol that now comes out of it, you will be voting AGAINST the Liberal candidate no matter how qualified or good of a representative they will be.

I think anyone who reads this blog would be absolutely shocked if you voted for the Liberal candidate as you’ve cleared waged quite the campaign against Dalton’s party and seem to hate them with a passion.

Is Tim Hudak preferable to Dalton McGuinty as Premier though I wonder?? Oh well no matter you will vote against the Liberals regardless.
