The SBP Archives - Your less than frequent dose of SBP!

I just noticed that this marks my 700th post as a blogger. Do I get a prize? No, but, it reaffirms my enjoyment of blogging and despite posting daily, I haven't gotten tired of it and will continue to do so until the day comes where I...do...get tired of it.

So...no surprises at all with this Ontario election. Despite Mcguinty's track record on not delivering the goods he promises, Ontarians seem a little bit scared to change things up. I think many feel a vote for the NDP would be wasted and might allow a Conservative government to slip through the cracks. I did vote NDP as Howard Hampton impressed me the most and comes across to me as the person I'd want to represent Ontario. He's very down to earth and isn't afraid to speak his mind. My vote had no basis on my local candidates because to be honest, I know so much more about the Party leaders than anyone else so I vote that way.

I also voted for the mixed representation system as although it would mean more MPPs, the idea that say, the Green Party earned 10% of the vote so they would get that representation at Queen's Park, seems like a very progressive form of democracy. I could be naive about that, but it fell through so it doesn't matter.

I do hope you took the time to vote and if you didn't you feel much shame!
