Preliminary results are showing that Tim Hudak's bold ideas borrowed from Mean Mike Harris, which were borrowed from Ayn Rand and Maggie Thatcher, are not cutting it with the Ontario electorate.
Maybe our education system isn't that bad after all...

Ontario needs Tim Hudak?
Yes we do, according to the Toronto Sun.
Hudak gonna set things right by firing 100,000 lazy-ass civil servants!
Chop down the corporate tax rate to next-to-nothing to boot, and by God, there's gonna be a jobs bonanza right here in the promised land!
A million new private sector jobs!
One shudders to imagine the nature of those million jobs. Yes, you could cut the corporate tax rate to zero, and yes, that would attract a few corporate bottom-feeders who would create a few minimum wage jobs. Is that really what Ontario needs?
Hudak's race-to-the-bottom strategy has failed everywhere it's been implemented. This is just the latest recycled version of the old Thatcher-Reagan trickle-down. You remember that; be nice to rich folks and eventually that niceness gonna trickle down on the regular folks...
Rich folks will of course love that strategy. It works for them. It frees up a little more cash to donate to the pols who are prepared to do their bidding.
Here's the trouble with trickle-down economics; the rich get richer and the rest of us just get soaked.

The Ontario election; voting for the lesser dorkshit
It's nothing but fear, loathing, and more loathing here in the promised land as we prepare to exercise our democratic franchise.
As a principled non-voter I bring a nuanced outsider's perspective to this electoral race.
Trust me, they're all dorkshits.
Horvath precipitated this election by thinking she had some clout with Wynn in approving the last budget. Wynn called her bluff, and here we go.
That caught perennially unprepared Tim Hudak unprepared. Hudak is a blast of Thatcherite nostalgia campaigning on cutting government jobs and corporate taxes. Because that'll create jobs. Because look at how well it's worked everywhere the gullible voters have fallen for the ruse.
Right.
I'd have to google the Green Party to find out the name of their leader, so I'm not going to dignify such a pathetic excuse for a political party by making the effort.
Shame.
As for Horvath, Wynn gifted her the dream NDP budget and instead of running with it, she decided to hold her breath and hold out for more.
Stupid.
Which brings us back to Wynn. Climbing out of the PR hole Dorkshit Dalton dug for her has been no mean feat. Not that she is out of it by any stretch, but she is making some progress.
Good!
It's a tough call, but Wynn is clearly the best of a bad lot...
