I actually believe that a Politicians STATUS among each other is all about BULLSHITTING the public. The lies are so blaint that you should not be voting if you can’t see it.Right now McGuinty is out of control and unless ONTARIANS want a big tax increase during a so-called recession we better get together and STOP this HST Tax now. All that is needed is a few people to manage the tax revolt and show Canada’s Politicians that we aren’t SHEEP anymore.

Your comment about Smitherman as a bully resonated with my findings and seeing him at work in the Legislature.
We are fighting the battle against the power plant here in Oakville and Mississauga, and we are alarmed and sickened by the GEA that steals our rights as Canadian citizens. Since Dalton cannot see this, or any of the SERIOUS, scandalous moves his cohorts are committing they are all guilty and must be removed ASAP.

Couldn’t agree with you more! This idiot should have resigned a LONG time ago… Caplan took the fall for something that happened under someone elses leadership. McGuinty & his group of clowns will hopefully get their butts kicked to the curb at the next election.

I would suggest at the very least a Public Inquiry into the inner workings of Smitherman and his cohorts. The most desirable ending to this man’s political career should be a full blown Police Investigation!

Goodbye Georgie AND the Liberal Government. The Leader should never,ever pass the buck by saying I didn’t know.??
He is responsible for his troops. Dalton must GO also.

Thank you for finally saying something I can agree with you on. Smitherman should be punished in some way, however I don’t think resigning is the way to go. Parliamentary convention states that the present minister should step down, and George was not the current Health Minister. If we’re going to change the rules because of one incident, that sets a troubling precedent down the road for any problem that arises from a department (Are we going to make every minister who was in charge step down?).

The best way I can see to punishe George would be in 2010. If he and John Tory both run for mayor, I’m definitely putting myself in the Tory camp and urging people to vote for the guy who knew this eHealth mess was going to happen, thereby punishing the guy who let the problem happen first. How’s that for poetic justice?

Is anyone doing party support polling in Ontario? McGuinty may still be Teflon Man, even while this has happened on his watch. I’m not sure there’s enough generalized anger — and actual movement away from the Libs — to get his attention.

I hate to say it, but I agree with almost everything you wrote. It did happen on his watch. He did pass the hot potato to Poor Mr. Caplan who was forced to fall on his sword to protect Smitherman.

It isn’t fair.
