The author comments on Canadian politics and the Liberal Party, in light of an upcoming June election. Liberal MPs have spent much of their time lately staring at the Opposition benches with the evident distaste of a debutante whose dinner guest uses the wrong salad fork. But the Liberals may yet learn there is something they like even less than an opposition full of Conservatives. That's an opposition full of Liberals--and not very many of them either. If the voters hand the Liberals that ticket to the wilderness, the party will be tempted by memories of Pierre Trudeau. It would be so much better for Paul Martin and the Liberals to take defeat--as a long-overdue cue to renew. The Liberals cruelly lack young talent. They haven't taken a comprehensive look at their values since the 1991 conference in Aylmer, Que. And they're mighty low on leadership stock.

This article discusses recent elections in Ontario. When Ontario's Liberals secured a landslide victory in the provincial election of October 2nd, 2003, they also produced a political situation that Canada has not seen for 60 years. Given that the Quebec Liberals routed the separatists in their election in April, Liberals now control the two largest provinces, which together account for about two-thirds of the country's total population, economy and trade. Canada is looking increasingly like a one-party state. In the past, Canadian voters have maintained a political balance by electing different parties at provincial and federal levels. To his credit -- and, it seems, to his benefit -- Dalton McGuinty ran a high-minded campaign, ignoring the personal attacks that Ernie Eves, the normally courteous outgoing Conservative premier, allowed his backroom staff to launch. Among other slurs, they alleged that Mr McGuinty was "a kitten-eating alien." But while clean, Mr. McGuinty's campaign could prove expensive, and he will welcome any help his fellow premiers can offer as he sets about winkling money out of Ottawa to meet his election promises. His costly platform included pledges to keep class sizes for young pupils to a maximum of 20 students, which will require more teachers and classrooms, and to hire 8,000 nurses to help revive the health service.
