Promise Made, Promise Kept

After totally humiliating his Progressive Conservative opponents in yesterday's election, Ontario's newly re-elected Liberal premier, Dalton McGuinty, announced today that his government was introducing a new statutory holiday. From now on, the third Monday in February will be celebrated as "Family Day".

That McGuinty is a crafty politician -- I had planned on making today's post "One Day Without A Broken Promise", but he ran a positive campaign against me. I know how John Tory must feel.

(By the way, I realize that the NDP, Green Party, Family Coalition Party, Freedom Party, Communist Party, Libertarian Party, and probably other parties also ran against the Liberals, but the Progressive Conservatives were the only party that had a reasonable chance of defeating the incumbents. Of course, that was before the election began and Tory started talking.)
