And my true point is that the failures of government eventually catches up with the parties after years in power; it is another to demonstrate self-inflicted failures right of the start.

Depends bob rae was a disaster from the start and dalton lying about no new taxes tanked his popularity fast after being sky high due to beating the Tories.
Whether it takes a few days or a few years we been hit by back to back morons leading this province.

You must have forgotten Bob Rae went into government right around a major recession, and McGuinty was reelected with a majority inspite of that health premium. It takes a special talent to take a non-issue such as license plates and turn it into a public relations nightmare.
I thought you claimed to be relatively young - what do you know about the late 80s/early 90s?

Bob Rae got blamed by the Harris campaign for causing a recession, that—I'm not kidding—was global and completely not caused by Rae. The Rae government used known Keynesian attempts to keep the Ontario economy afloat during said recession, with limited success.
And when the economy really took a hit (due in part to the Feds raising interest rates well above the US), there were "Rae Days"; an austerity-based attempt to save the government money without laying off public employees by forcing them to take one unpaid day off every month. It saved the province almost $2B and no one had to lose their job. And yet, it's used as a reason for why we should never vote in an NDP government again. It's insanely ridiculous that it's considered austerity in comparison to measures Ford, Harris and yes, even McGuinty put us through.

Harris would qualify.
Problem is he followed a horrendous NDP government, which force him to act quickly to restore Ontario's economy.
It's basically the same thing with Ford - following 2 terrible Liberal governments, he had little choice but make drastic changes.
Peterson was acceptable.
The last back to back good governments in Ontario - you have to go back to Robarts and Davis.

The Ontario government says it will eventually have to recall newly issued licence plates that are difficult to read in low light.
Progressive Conservative House leader Paul Calandra said the move will need to be made once the problem with the plates is fixed by the manufacturer, 3M Canada.
"Are the licence plates a problem? Absolutely. We procured something with 3M; we expect them to fix the problem," Calandra told reporters at Queens Park on Thursday.
"We bought something and we want them to fix it and it is obviously very, very important to us — the safety and security of Ontarians."
For the second straight day, Minister of Government and Consumer Services Lisa Thompson avoided speaking to the media after question period. On Tuesday, she repeatedly defended the plates, saying that the government "absolutely" had confidence in them.

It would be interesting to see the spec sheet for the product ordered from 3M. If they didn't supply a product as spec'd, then it's on them (although where was the sign-off?). If they supplied what was ordered because the request was faulty then it should be on the government (i.e. us). It will be interesting to see how the durability holds up.
