Glen Clarke's NDP was definitely a crappy government, but they have been generous on the social services, and more importantly to probably a lot of us on LYK, the Glen Clark era was the time when he put a tuition freeze on post secondary education, and now those of us that went to colleges and universities are entering our prime years in the work force.

I still remember paying only $1400-ish a semester for university ($77 per credit!), and it would have been cheaper still had I went to College. At the same time, my friends in Ontario were paying $3400 or $3500-ish per semester for their university education.

Granted, I quite agree that the ultra-cheap tuition fees were somewhat harmful to the universities themselves as they could have used some extra money to better furnish their equipments and facilities. But still, be fair in your evaluation, especially when you have personally benefited tremendously from the ones being evaluated.

ICBC is not as evil as many think either. In provinces such as Alberta and Ontario, it's all fine and dandy if you are a middle age, claim-free person. But in Ontario, in particular, should you be unfortunate enough to even just have a single at fault accident, your rates just shoot through the roof for years to come. Car insurance is also draconian and troublesome in many other ways in Ontario as well.

And if you are a guy younger than 25, don't even consider owning a vehicle at all, because you wouldn't be able to afford insurance.
