Just a question:

Do you believe McGuinty knew the financial state of the province before hand, and still consciously made promises which he knew would win him the election? (Lie)

Do you believe McGuinty made those promises in the hopes that he could implement them while in office if he was elected? But, after learning the fanancial position changed his game plan, and had to go against his promises? (not a lie)

A lie is only a lie if he consciously knew he would not uphold his promises but said them anyways.

What if the guy just got it wrong? What if he thought he could do it all, but now realises he cant? Would he not deserve some credit for proposing ideas which people would not like but may be neccessary?

By no means am i a mcguinty supporter, im just trying to show there are a few different ways to look at this

I have a friend who worked a hotel where they were having a liberal conference 2 days before the election. She says They were already talking about how they were going to lift the cap on electricity rates and this was BEFORE THE ELECTION!!! So they were already planning on breaking that promise before they got elected. This leads me to believe that they were deceitful in almost every aspect of their platform.

Also, blaming the previous government for breaking promises is the oldest trick in the book. The Fiberals have just taken it to new heights.

No I still think he lied to get to the office - nice pay I hear too

As leader of the official opposition, he constantly decried the Tories spending and claimed the books where way out of whack, so for him to claim they didn't know they were this screwed is a bunch of bullshit.

The NDP really screwed things up, then the Tories came in hacking and slashing away @ our provinces infrastructure so they could have something to point to that would back up their claims of savings and a balanced budget. (which we all now know was a bunch of BS too)

So if the Fiberals claimed all those years that the math doesn't add up under the Tories, how can they claim the mess they inheirited is news?

Politics has a timeless quality...

Politicians will always lie and misuse money,
People will always bitch and never change much
