The inhabitants of major clearcuts vote differently from the people on the land - look where the Liberal seats are out west - Victoria, Vancouver, Edmonton ..... in a very real way the division is more than between east and west, it is between urban and rural. Almost a quarter of Ontario voted Alliance ... and that translates into two, count 'em two seats ... they simply have more and bigger clearcuts there. Yes, Day is flawed .. by his own past statements, and perhaps permanently ... same with Tommy Douglas, one of the greatest canadians ever imho even though i do not share his political philosophy ... he could never have been prime ministre, his statements from the Thirties would have come back to haunt him, he'd been caught up thoroughly in the old british trade union socialism thing. Keith Martin is not flawed, to my knowledge ... Alliance chose wrong.
