Calling all Ontarians.
What is up with Ontario voters? I am so very confused by the lack of a public uproar over the Gomery findings. Although by the narrow scope of the inquiry, Martin was 'vindicated', there is no question of the culpability of the Liberal Party in using stolen funds to help win the past two elections.
Therefore, why are Ontario voters not clamoring for a chance to go to the polls? Why the disinterest? Why the apathy? There are very few of us, in our personal lives, who would not immediately take action if someone close to us, in a position of trust, was found stealing from us. How is this any different?
What would have to be done to convince the average Ontarian to want to go to the polls in December? Are we that weak as a society, do we take Democracy that much for granted, that a one hour trek to the polls is too great of a burden?
Even if I were a card carrying Liberal, who, for some illogical reason decided that the actions of my party and my leadership did not warrant political banishment, I would still welcome an election to show my continued support and to put this matter to rest forever.
Unfortunately, the answer lies only in Ontario.
Thoughts?
