If the Libs were in power they'd be doing the same thing, probably the same with the Dips.<BR/><BR/>In our political system, the easiest province to get seats from is Quebec right now. (That is unless the Bloc get their act together.) Ontario is pretty much already decided, and most of the other provinces don't have enough seats to really change things.<BR/><BR/>And sadly, the best way to get seats is to give big big contracts to those regions. People with jobs that pay lots of money usually end up being very willing to vote for you, even if it isn't in their self-interest to do so.MrvnMousehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03259041182030511135noreply@blogger.com
