Summary: Ontario's turn


     Jamie's comments on the Socred/NDP relationship in BC was interesting.
In Ontario, we've got a similar situation wherein the Liberal/NDP 'sort
of coalition' is the 1st non-Tory government since before I was born.  It'll
be amazing if they *don't* trip over their own feet.  In that sense the
B.C. NDP's have probably taken a bum rap.  But then, the point of running
a party in an election is to say to the electorate 'we are ready to
govern'.  If you aren't then you should not form a government.  Oh, most
mistakes are actually less important than the media would have you believe,
just as the current Tory nepotism probably won't in and of itself hurt
the country, but it would be refreshing to find such an honest self
evaluation of ones abilities.

                                         Cheers! -- Jim O.
