This is a poll to see where respondents think that Ontario Premier Dalton McGuinty will end up, after announcing today that he plans to step down.

Yes, Kingston. :)

For those who believe in karma.

In case anyone's stumped, I'm not thinking of Kingston city hall, but rather another well known, less well furnished institution there.

I posted Kingston before the poll went up, just so everyone knows :p

My actual answer is "None of the Above" - I doubt he's done anything actually illegal. But I believe that the not-illegal things he's done are enough to make him basically unelectable at any level. Plus unlike someone such as Jim Flaherty, he actually pissed off his base of supporters. Flaherty pissed off a lot of people, but I don't think any of them were Conservative voters :p

Strange, why didn't the poll record your vote?!

Are you being prevented from voting again, or did you pick a different option later (if you don't mind saying)?

Is giving the taxpayers a bill for a quarter of a billion dollars (some people claim this is the minimum amount) because of a political decision a de facto misappropriation of public funds? I voted for Kingston.

Queen`s university? I don`t think you mean Royal Military College since he is not a military guy.

Oh, that Kingston. Well if he`s going there then there should be a lot of American bank heads doing the perp walk to the minimum security prison Conrad Black used to call home. Not to mention the bank regulators who were derelict in their duties. I am sure Bob`s 99 per cent would be happy to see that they do.

How do you justify a claim that he pissed off his base when he was reelected to a short by one seat minority. Usually if you piss off your base you lose badly and are no longer premier.

I didn't vote in that poll. However, I read the cost will likely be closer to 600 or 700 million. It's hard to know the real number.

Moving those plants at this stage isn't very practical. Unless the new plants are under construction, I wouldn't be surprised to see them completed at their current locations.

I'd love to see such people held to account for their unlawful actions (provided they legally deserve it, of course...I'm not out to 'hunt down' the 1% just because they're part of the 1%).

It's been a while since the last election you know. He's had time since then.

I guess either he decided he didn't like minority government (can't get your way) or the Liberal insiders decided he should go, and not like how Crétien left.
