Woodstock, Ont. — The increasingly nasty tone of Progressive Conservative rhetoric in the Ontario election campaign reached a point that made even Tory Leader Ernie Eves uncomfortable yesterday after his staff issued a press release calling Liberal Leader Dalton McGuinty “an evil reptilian kitten-eater from another planet.”

At a Liberal campaign stop in Cornwall, Ont., Mr. McGuinty smiled broadly when asked to confirm or deny that he is an evil reptilian kitten-eater from another planet.

I’m sick of all the Canadian bashing that takes place on this board. Ernie’s a good guy who’s done a lot for his country and the release specifically says he “felt uncomfortable” (Canadian for “Whoever’s freakin’ responsible for putting out that flippin’ release can pick up his/her sorry a** and take a hike!”).
The fact that McGuinty “smiled broadly” (Canadian for “Idiots.”) just shows you that: 1) kittens were never on the menu; 2) no reptiles can survive in Canada; 3) Canada is another plant; 4) he’d had a few pints.
Also, what does this obviously biased reporter think is going to happen in the “Progressive” party?? By nature they tend to get “increasingly” everything - including nasty.
Ah come on Susan, we here north of the border are finally getting an American style election campaigning that we always hoped that we would get. This provincial election is only 30 days long, no primaries, no year long campaigning, we have got get our licks in a hurry.
Oh sure, Mark, bring up the kitten thing again. You just can’t let it go, can you?!?! No proof was ever found that the hairs on McGuinty’s jacket came from a kitten. This ludicrous story starts up every two years when he runs for reelection - again.
I heard from a Liberal insider that indeed McGuinty wears a hair shirt and lashes himself between stops on tour. But heard nothing on the other white meat that he eats.
It’s not every two years, an elected government in Ontario, has a five year term before they have to call an election. What’s really good though, is that when an election is called, it is thirty days to the election. Not the one/two year campaigning in the States. We can rely flip governments here in Canada almost as fast as Italy.
