Election Day in Ontario

Jacob managed to cry from the moment we walked into the local baptist church to vote, right up until when we left the building. Good to see that he shares my general discomfort with organized religion.

The main difference between Ontario politics and BC politics seems to be that here we have a choice of three horrendous mainstream parties, compared with two out west. Today's choice was between a Conservative party that apparently missed the Scopes monkey trial, a Liberal party that brings smarmy to a whole new level (witness McGuinty's creepy grin at the end of his campaign ads), and the NDP who seem to have been led by the same dead-man-walking since I left Ontario ten years ago. So I voted Green, and more importantly, in favour of electoral reform.
