Ontario's Electoral Change Referendum Question?

On October 10th, Ontario voters are being asked to decide if the province should modify the way we elect our representatives in Queen's Park. This is the question on the ballot:


Which electoral system should Ontario use to elect members to the provincial legislature?
  • The existing electoral system (First-Past-the-Post)?
  • The alternative electoral system proposed by the Citizens’ Assembly (Mixed Member Proportional)?

I will be voting in favour of the existing method, for no other reason than I will not support anything with the liar Dalton McGuinty's taint to it. Unfortunately the Ontario Liberals learned little during their years in opposition. For the same reason the Tories were turfed out in '03, the Libs now have to go:

  • Broken Promises!
  • Largest Tax increase in Ontario, ever!
  • Undemocratic practices where our MPPs aren't free to act in the best interests of their constituents!
  • Non-transparent actions and intentional cover-up of misdeeds!
  • Unsolicited payments to Liberal connected organizations and special interests that were nothing more then bribes to potential voters in the 905/GTA!

The proposed voting method change will add additional seats to an already bloated Ontario Legislature. I thank Mike Harris for cutting back the number of MPPs during his reign.

I also believe that the proposed change will create an unworkable legislature, like they have in Israel and Italy, where numerous fringe political parties are represented, and a history of never ending minority governments.

By voting against the proposed change, your voting against the McGuinty ship of fools.

Good ridence to the Ontario Liberals, and the liar who lead them.
