Dear PolSpy... Bugger Off

Three Bags Full

From a late night conversation at the McCormicks':

Re: Adscam and other Liberal fiscal outpourings:

"Well, we got the government we voted for—"

"No, not "us", not "we", it's the Eastern vote."

"Egh, Toronto voters. Nothing but sheep."

"If we took them all, every Ontarian, and sheared them all, we'd make it all back in wool."

I understand the frustration, I really do. I feel it too everytime I see Paul Martin on TV or in the news.

But your constant whining about Ontario and Ontarians is starting to sound a lot like an inferiority complex speaking, much like the one most Canadians have towards America. And painting everyone east of Manitoba with the same brush does your cause no favours.

So quite frankly, Bugger Off.

Disclaimer: I know the above was meant to be funny, but the pattern of bitching at Ontario demostrated at PolSpy is no longer amusing to me.

Update: As a side note, assuming that Alberta and Ontario had the same proportion of registered voters to population size, then according to the information here and here there were more CPC supporters in Ontario than in Alberta. Calling them all sheep probably won't grow the percentages any. I'm just saying.
