Then you will be in shittown.

Same old tired western victim crap.
Blame the eastern banks, the eastern railway, blah blah blah. Blame everyone but yourself. "We sell you leather for 4 dollars a hide and you sell us shoes for $5.00 a pair"
To that i respond - "Well, have you ever worked in a shoe factory"?
No-one sucks anything from you. You make your own life, stop blaming others for your problems.
My father doesn't own the royal bank, nor do i, nor does anyone i know. The whole big bad ontario thing is not reality. I have never collected a dime of assistance from anyone in my fucking life. I have been working since i was 15 years old, blah blah blah.
I know and work with several people from the west, and Nova Scotia too, who have come to toronto for reason or another and have come to realize that there is no grand plot; that people are people are people and no-one in the east "has it in" for anyone in the west, or elsewhere.
You need to live here to appreciate that.
I was actually born and raised in Hamilton, and believe me, it was bred into me to despise Toronto; to go forth to the tiger cat argo games and seek out argo fans and beat them to a pulp because they were from "hogtown"
Then i moved here.
Didn't like it at first. My family and friends snickered, called me a traitor to the cause, etc.
But then you begin to open your mind and you ralize that the average joe in toronto is busting his hump just like everyone else. That in fact, he's ok, nice even. You then realize that the hatred that was bred into you growing up was wrong.

The liberals are in power because more people voted for them than anyone else.
As long as there is fiscal responsibility, i will vote for that party.
Paul Martin took 9 years of coservative thieving, stealing, and corruption complete with back breaking deficits and turned our economy into the strongest of all the G-7 nations. He eliminated deficits, got rid of bureaucracy, and gave us budget surpluses for the first time in my life.
For that alone, I will vote for him.
