By Jove, I think I've got it.

I think I know why Ontarians, particularly the 416'ers, voted Lie-beral in the '07 election.

Stockholm Syndrome.

That's the only explanation.

The hostages, held captive for four years and subjected to unceasing sound bite drivel and media propaganda, were brainwashed and started to identify with their captors.

Much as abused people often will not leave their partners, the brainwashed electorate did not feel worthy of a better partner, one that would treat them honestly and ethically.

Waddaya think about that theory?
