The accusations against Quebec Separatists in 1995 was the same. It seems to be a favorite past-time of many Ontarians to tar and feather anyone outside their province who question their view of the rightfulness of the East's domination of Canada.<BR/><BR/>But facts are facts. <BR/><BR/>The fact is that many Easterners enjoy voting in ridings close to one quarter the electoral size of ridings in the West.
