A timely reminder to Ontario Voters of Bob Rae and the NDP's follies and flip
flops during the past four years.

Non-exhaustive list:
   Public Auto Insurance
   Social Contract
   Free University tution
   Same-sex benefits
   Shirly Martell
   Peter North
   Sunday Shopping
   Trippling of the deficit..........

Feel free to tag on any folly or flip flop that I missed.  After all, we,
Ontarians, can't afford another NDP government.

It went into their shiny new headquarters - all $16 million of it. In
today's market it's valued at 3 million. What a deal!

And they pretend to be able to tally up an accurate costing of their
current contract demands. Who do you believe - Leah Casselman's $500
million or Dave Johnson's $1.5 billion?
