oh and that isn't 'liberal media', they chose Harper as their choice in the last election.
I think maybe Ontario is waking up to Harper's complete distaste for Ontario...

maybe Dion should call an election now...
If you haven't noticed there is some concern about Dion's leadership skills but you are probably one of those who have deserted the ship so I offer these as alternatives......
Next Liberal leader?
Let's face it, Liberal leader Stephane Dion is a dud. But who can the Liberals get to replace him?
Well, after extensive thought I have come up with 10 possible candidates:
Don Cherry
Thanks to Dion’s perceived “wimpiness”, the Liberal Party is losing the support of men. What better way to win back red-blooded male voters than with some “rock’em, sock’em” politics?
Barack Obama’s Pastor
OK Rev. Jeremiah Wright is an American. But consider his positives: He is a fiery speaker, he has tons of charisma and he’s a visible minority. The only drawback? His views might not be quite anti-American enough for Liberals.
David Suzuki
As Liberal leader Suzuki could blunt the growth of the Green Party and more importantly help figure out cost-saving ways to insulate Stornoway.
Rick Mercer
I know Mercer is a comedian. But wouldn’t it be great to have a political leader who when he makes us laugh, does so on purpose?
Jack Layton
Yes, he’s a New Democrat. But Dion has moved his party so far to the left nobody would notice the difference if Layton took over.
Buzz Hargrove
If Americans are ready for a president named “Barack” then Canadians are certainly ready for a Prime Minister named “Buzz”.
Justin Trudeau
Too young, too inexperienced and too many wacky ideas, but he has the right last name which is all that matters to his adoring fans in the media.
Kiefer Sutherland
Wouldn’t it be cool to have “Jack Bauer” as Prime Minister? Plus he could solve all our provincial-federal relationship problems in 24 hours
Dalai Lama
He may not win any elections but at least the Liberals would be more serene about losing.
Patrick Roy
The House of Commons could use a good brawl or two.
Mind you, if the Liberals don’t wish to take any of my admittedly unconventional suggestions, they another way to find a leader who would be more effective than Dion.
It’s called pulling a name out of a hat.

what you miss in your all or nothing thinking is that I don't like EITHER Dion OR Harper, and neither does the rest of the country!
No one, on either side of the extreme right or left throwing jabs back and forth want to admit that the country is uncomfortable with both parties. No amount of bravado, nor the incessant caterwauling from either you or flaggman about how the left is juvenile! The left is juvenile! can gloss over this dirty little secret.
The fact is, Harper appears bold when he tries to force an election, but he knows FULL well Dion won't so he's safe. Because the fact is, liberals still own ontario, and Harper is going to have to pour a whole lotta more billions in bribe money to Quebec to pull even so much a razor thin majority.
You ok with more bribe money for Quebec???
