Ontario Votes 2007: For those who missed the debate…

…it went something like this:

McGuinty: I’ve spent a lot in the last four years.
Hampton: I’d spend more
Tory: I like spending, I’d spend on all the stuff you guys’d spend on, and then I’d find be polite to the staff down on University Ave. which would save the government money…which I would spend!

McGuinty: Well I’m fighting for public education; we need to focus all of our money on indoctrinating our public school kids…I’m only Premier for them
Tory: But sir, if we bring private religious schools into public funding, we can forcibly indoctrinate them too!
Hampton: I’m going to cry now for the camera over autistic children

McGuinty: Well I think we need the public to do this
Tory: So do I
McGuinty: Well I will force behavioral changes upon Ontario’s citizens
Tory: So do I
McGuinty: Well I have more concern for still doing the job we started years ago
Tory: So do I
McGuinty: Well I think John Tory looked more presentable when he wore those nerdy glasses
Tory: So do I…hey, that’s not nice; Howie, I’m going to need to borrow a Kleenex

Hampton: Doesn’t anyone care about what I have to say?
Moderator: Who said that?

Tory: But I’m God’s gift to Ontario!

Love him or hate him, at least Mike Harris knew how to make things a real debate back in his day, and Ontario responded accordingly…
