Ever since the issue of faith based schools showed up, Mcguinty has been doing the polar opposite of what he was appointed to do. It would be one thing if through this campaign The Premier focused on lack of funding, but instead he chose to win votes over by praying on the provinces fears. Mcguinty made people afraid of funding schools that nearly always contribute to society. When High School is over everyone goes into active positions in Canadian society while maintaining their heritage and keeping Ontario a multi-cultural society. Mcguinty going on television, asking the province to "Stand together", means that he is to ignorant to see the contributions that private schools give, and made the issue a matter of getting people to be xenophobic about Islamic fundamentalists and other minority groups in Canada.
Mcguinty has contradicted everything that Canada was established on, and is ignoring the fact that we live in a society that was founded by immigrants. Ontario was always the home to tolerance, dating as far back as the underground railroad in the nineteen hundreds and by Mcguinty acting the way he has, he has contradicted everything that our country was built on. It is only appropriate to compare Mcguinty's behavior to the inappropriate policies made by PM King right before the Holocaust. King's xenophobia led to the death of many Jews because his fears stopped him from giving help to those who needed it, and now Mcguinty is forgetting the mistakes of his past and is hoping to lead the province by spreading fear instead of multi-cultural ism.
Though he technically did not slander and cannot be removed from office, you can hold Mcguinty accountable October 10th by removing the Liberal government from power. As a culture that promotes peace world wide, we cannot let our leader contradict peaceful and equal co-existence because all we would be are hypocrites. I hope we all join together to rid ourselves of a man who has embarrassed our once great province and start building a place free from fear.

Well thought through and obviously strongly felt, but the polls are showing, at least right now, that McGuinty will win. Why do you think?
Regrettably Mr. D, we only live in a tolerant society when we are told we are intolerant. Mcguinty is not being held accountable for his comments so people do not realize that there xenophobic urges are contradictory to what Canada stands for. People forget to quickly about their history and forget to easily that everyone was once the minority in Ontario and each minority group deserves equal opportunities.
Mcguinty is most likely going to win because he was not challenged at the right time and the PC’s did not attack the central flaws that Mcguinty was spreading. It really is discomforting knowing that the leader of this province is to ignorant to realize that he embarrassed the ideals he was supposed to uphold, but the other parties through a much classier campaign and suffered for it. Not to mention Torrie is being accused of flip-flopping an issue. All I can say is that I would take a flip-flopper over a xenophobe any day of the week.
Good answer, I can't argue with it.
