Are we in for some liberal versus liberal action?
That’s what an article in the Welland Tribune is sort of hinting at, outlining how the Ontario premier may be heading in the direction of damaging liberal support in the province. The article highlights the proposed harmonized sales tax (hst), among other recent Mcguinty initiatives, that the article’s author says have contributed to turning Ontario into a “have not” province. If the article does in fact demonstrate the kind of support liberals in Ontario–the largest vote-getting center in Canada, comparable only to Quebec–can expect, Michael Ignatieff may indeed have Dalton McGuinty to thank, and quite probably blame, for it. Not what a man who came back to Canada from the US to accept leadership of the federal liberal party wants to have to deal with. Particularly when that same party is still about neck deep in trying to recover from its own problems from the previous 13 years of government.
