Running against Ontario

It isn’t unheard of in Canadian politics for candidates in other parts of the country to diss Ontario. “Let the eastern bastards freeze in the dark.”

I used to tell a joke back when Quebec separatism was a live issue: “I started an Ontario separatist party and got 100,000 members first day. Including one from Ontario.”

But I have yet to see an Ontario candidate run against Ontario. I am sure it’s coming though, since American trends reach us eventually.

UPDATE: Wasn’t she supposed to be part of the A Team? Over the past decade the Republicans have tossed away a lot of senate seats with atrocious candidates. Seems it’s the Democrats' turn.
