I do not have any predictions to make and I am not much of a gambler. I don’t even buy lottery tickets. If the liberals somehow snatch victory from defeat – well, well. I will move forward with my plans to leave Ontario in the future and join the Western Separatist movement.
If the conservatives win, my life won’t change much except that I won’t have to a tax shelter for my 14 year old so that she does not have to pay taxes on her High School scholarship and I will be able to write off the cost of her books. My children are too old for the family to benefit from the Beer and Popcorn child care tax credit. So my beer budget will remain at zero and I will continue to divert my money into popcorn only.
My 13 year old son won’t benefit but the woman who pays my son to pick up her daughter after school every day and watch her for two hours and twice a week escort her to ballet classes will catch a tax break and still have money left over. I know she buys popcorn so maybe she’ll spend it on beer. It will be nice to have a portion of the tax lifted off every good or service I purchase but I am sure with the new municipal powers City Hall has received from the provincial liberal government I won’t see much benefit once the MST is implemented by City Hall. Ditto with the benefit with the Conservative transit credit as the TTC is suggesting that they will have to seriously consider an increase in the price of a metropass to offset any tax benefit for any Canadians in Toronto.
An NDP will is a thought too horrible to contemplate. Let me just say that less than 10% of the country could afford to remain in Canada if the NDP wins. Enough said.
When all is said and done I really do not care who you vote for as long as it is not Liberal. Go Green, go Marijuana Party, NDP or cast your vote for the CPC party. Just as long as you do not vote the Liberals back into power. If you’re a Liberal Party supporter; my advice is to just stay home.

Well, at least you're not suggesting mandatory voting :)
Mandatory voting, egad, never,and a singularly stupid idea. I hope not only I am dead but my future grandchildren are too before the state compells anyone to vote or risk fines/imprisonment for not voting.
On February 18, 1980 Trudeau won a majority government. I distinctly remember sitting in front of the TV, watching the results unfold. It was there at that exact moment that the Rooster and I decided it was time to move on. Within two weeks the old blue van was loaded, my mother was weeping and we were on the road to Calgree. You need to know that. It's Calgree - not Cal-Gary.
Good luck and God bless you guys!!
