First Ontario Poll Post Election Shows Prospects, Problems

 The McGuinty Liberals would probably win a majority today, but that damned Mississaugua gas plant could become an albatross around their necks. 

Cancelling the thing at the very last moment seemed the Libs one campaign misstep (that and McGuinty's arm waving at the debate), although it didn't really harm them much at the time.  When you build your campaign around pandering to NIMBYs, as Hudak did, you can't really complain when your opponent turns around and does it better.

And its sad to see NIMBYism come to the 416; I guess its easy to be green when all the turbines/plants are located in someone else's riding.

Green Conservative Gets The NIMBYs

They're coming to build wind-mills in David Frum's back-yard, and suddenly he's agin' it. This is the Conservative who's been trumpeting his green credentials, and in particular his support for alternative energy and a carbon tax, for years now. Of course during the last federal election he went 100% silent on the issue, only to pop up afterwards--with Harper safely in office again and the issue back on the furthest back of the back-burners--to start promoting it again! I guess he expects other people to "substitute away from oil". Out there in Prince Edward County they're sticking with the old ways.
