Good government or your money back!

OK, so where is my cheque?

Dalton and the Fiberals are not resorting to gimmicks now, are they? Otherwise, how does one explain this rather bizarre headline in today's Star? The gist of it seems to be that the Fibs are promising refunds to the folks who apply for birth certificates and who wait in vain for more than 15 business days. Wow. How impressive. A service provider actually offering to deliver a service within a reasonable timeframe? Or it will face some sort of "consequences". Wow, what a novel idea - albeit one that the private sector has been using for, well, forever. And yet, this is hailed as a revolutionary idea? Is this how low our expectations for government have sunk? - especially since the snoozer of a Speech from the throne really had nothing else in it...

Anyway, I guess Dalton was a little gun-shy, what with all those broken promises they have littered over the landscape over the past couple of years.

I am breathlessly (well, ok, that may be going a tad overboard) awaiting the chance to vote these lying, over-taxing spendthrifts out of office (Oct 2007 is the time, isn't it). Now if only the John Tory conservatives would actually come up with some actual, you know, positions...then things would be a whole lot easier.
