So true, but how do they pitch someone other then their candidate who won last time.

Spending went up during unemployment and recession.

Besides, my argument is that Rae is an outlier in terms of NDP governments across Canada that do a much better job of handling provincial finances than people give them credit for.

Really depends on your perspective and experiences. Horwath's background is a community worker - father was steelworker in Hamilton - so she is a strong unionist. As a businessman - I would think that would mean a weakening of the economy to support social justice and welfare types of investments rather than business investment. If anything, she is much more of a unionist than Bob Rae (who was from a wealthy and priviledged background) ever was.

"The Brits" burning down the White (power) House is a false talking point Americans use. The British never really had an army in Canada at that time, they were busy fighting elsewhere. They never really sent any reinforcements either. The war was fought mostly around the issue land-grabbing form the natives in America (see tecumseh). The stupid ass Americans feeling bold from their dumb revolution thought it would be pretty cool of them to invade parts of Upper Canada. But Canadians, as they were called at the time, formed militias and fended off the American invasions, for the most part. At no point did "the British" give commands to any army to burn down the White House. It was dudes who were from Ontario who took names and kicked ass. Canada wasn't a country at the time, but they were still Canadians.

In reality, the Americans were agitating for war against the British, believing that their Canadian brethren would see the light. In 1812, 2/3rds of the population of what is now Canada were American born but migrated north as United Empire Loyalists. They had more in common with their brothers and sisters to the south and there was cross-border trade, but their Loyalty to the British Crown backfired on the Americans. Britain found that they had an opportunity to gain lands lost during the American Revolution. The Battle of New Orleans occurred after the two sides had already signed a peace agreement. The British flotilla was in transit and landed at the mouth of the Mississippi and moved inland. The Americans repelled the invasion and the war ended. Neither side won any appreciable land from the other.

On the burning of the Whitehouse, it was a response to the attack on Fort York, what is now Toronto.

I lived through the Bob Rae years. He was an unmitigated failure. He wasted billions on social justice garbage. The roads fell into disrepair and the infrastructure suffered. Ontario fell $50 billion dollars in debt in his 5 years. After he was defeated, it took a lot of pain under Mike Harris to rebalance the debt to taxation ratio.

Everyone hated Harris, but he was put under the burden of dealing with the Chretien Liberals, who failed to pay their fair share of the tax burden for Education and Healthcare. The federal-provincial agreement for Healthcare and Education required both levels of government to pay 50% of the tax burden to fund this Federal mandate. The Federal Liberals only paid 12%, leaving the Provinces to pay 88% for Government services. The Chretien/Martin government downloaded their responsibilities for these social programs to the Provinces and kept their share to balance their books. Harris had to not only cut programs to pay for the Federal Mandate but was burdened with the debt left behind from the previous NDP government. The question today is? Do you really want to go down that path again with an NDP government that has no plan to rebalance the debt to taxation ratio? Ontario is the most indebted subnational government in North America.

Your 'news' has no place here. Everybody knows that the NDP are financially irresponsible and that only Conservative populists know how to balance a budget.
