I'm sorry, I was unfair and acted out of frustration. I have absolutely no doubt that your likes and dislikes are entirely based on politics.
I also didn't mean to single you out or anything like that. I was wrong and I take it back. I just mean that there is a certain hostility in the media and other environments to Italian-Canadian politicians, though. It may be entirely because of their individual politics and purely coincidental, but it does seem amazing that there is such a widespread antipathy to such a vast number of Italian-Canadian politicians, whatever their individual characteristics. Just in Ontario, among them are Valeri, Ianno, Chiarelli, DiIanni, Sorbara, Volpe, Del Grande, the Nunziatas, Mammoliti, Pantalone, Fantino, Racco, Fontana, DiBiase, and Pupatello who all have vociferous booing squads. Some of them are obviously pretty dubious, but others I just don't get the singling out for opprobium. I just get this feeling that the media wouldn't like a guy like George Smitherman as much if he were Italian.
