It's becoming clear that most Canadians fall into one of two categories: Those who hold Western or Eastern values, with the Eastern the majority.

It's also becoming clear that for a great part, the values one holds and the province where one resides has some correlation. But I must point out that a great many people have values different from their neighbours, no matter where they live. With our current system for selecting who gets sent to Ottawa, the values of the majority win, no matter how large or small the minority. So, when looking at the Liberal victory in Ontario, please don't overlook the great multitude of voters who did not vote Liberal. They feel victimized by the system as much as anyone in the West. In fact, they are forced to kiss the rings and arses of their Liberal MPs, many of whom they totally loath. They also know that a reform MP would have spoken on their behalf: Their Liberal MP, cowering under His Majesty Jean the Perpetual, wouldn't utter a peep in opposition to the party Line.

Cheers, PW.
