Dalton McGuinty ("Father Goosee") wins leadership review...?!!






"OTTAWA—He won 85.8 per cent support from his party in a leadership review vote, but getting the public on side isn’t as easy these days, Premier Dalton McGuinty acknowledged Saturday.

“It just takes a bit of time,” he said, reminding 1,000 delegates at the Liberal annual meeting that his government was twice re-elected after furors over the 2004 health premium of up to $900 per person, and 13 per cent HST two years ago.

“We’ve been through tough times before. This is one more.”

As his minority administration struggles in the polls over fallout from the $230 million cost to taxpayers of cancelling two power plants, and union anger over public sector wage freezes, McGuinty beat the marks won by his two main rivals in their leadership reviews earlier this year." The Toronto Star

What did they put in the water?

It literally boggles my mind that, with a record like his (i.e. ORNGE, e-health, a $230M political tax payer payout merely to be re-elected), Dalton McGuinty could be considered nearly perfect. In my opinion the 17% public rating is far more accurate. So maybe the above cartoon has the answer.
