... on Mark Steyn's Letters page. Two points in particular articulate aspects of my general disgust. First, the "what do they have to do to lose" theme ... it's hard to think of a government anywhere in the developed world that has shown such contempt for its own citizens, and still, they won (yes, only a minority, but that's a slap on the wrist compared to what the Liberals deserved). Second, I'm beginning to think that, between the Maritimes' addiction to free money in transfer payments, and between Ontario's addiction to being in power, even when their own economy is circling the drain, the Liberals may be headed in the direction of Mexico's PRI, whose rule was characterized by corruption, meaningless elections, and knee-jerk anti-Americanism, and who ruled Mexico for most of the 20th century.
