This is my current MP, and sadly it is all too familiar. My neighbourhood/riding consists of a lot of upper blue collar workers and pensioners...so we're very orange. You would think that me being a dutchie that orange would be a great colour, would you not? Sadly, while the NDP have some merit in a few of thier ideologies, they have shown Ontario what they do when given power and quite frankly at this point, what's the point of voting for a party that isn't going to get any power. Why vote for a party that can't (or doesn't) help our city? Wake up Hamilton!

Depending on which attrition rate you like better (% or #) and frequency of elections (2-4 years) best bet is wer're still a decade from NDP rule and neglect.
I know that ideologies are idolitical. I'm not in for the "oh no not the liberals", or "oh no not the conservatives" "the sky is falling crowd". I just want Hamilton to vote with the popular vote both in May (federally) and in October (provincially) cause I deeply want Hamilton to get some real proper attention and $$$$.
Just keep praying.

Caveat: Not to keen on Liberals after Dalton's 8 year reign of taxation terror and misappropriation of funds (E-health, OLG, Health Premium, etc.,...).
