Although the Ontario byelections last night might not have been as noteworthy as the Quebec general election on Tuesday, I must say I did see a few online ad-banners asking me to vote Liberal—despite the fact that I don’t live in Vaughan or Kitchener.  Okay, it might not be as big of a campaign fail as putting a picture of a foreign politician in the paper instead of your opponent, but it wasn’t very targeted advertising, either.

Speaking of campaign fails, the Libs failed to boost their government up to majority status due to a surprise NDP victory in the traditionally PC riding of Kitchener-Waterloo.  But they did take Vaughan, leaving Tim Hudak and co out in the cold.  It seems the weather really conspired against Hudak too, as he blamed a “tsunami of union bosses” for swinging the riding to the left.  I guess he’d better stay inside this evening, cuz the forecast is calling for heavy showers of unionized teachers and autoworkers.

Apparently, the Peace Bridge bit is actually true.  Hudak was born in Fort Erie, and his Wikipedia page says he worked on the border from ’88 to ’93.  But wait, isn’t the Peace Bridge unionized?  Yup, Teamsters 879, baby!  Methinks the bosses won’t let him have his old job back, after all…
