Read the entire story from the Toronto Star.

Unfortunately, the original report from the Star has disappeared due to their new and improved format. In that article, there was a particularly great quote from Liberal MPP Richard Patten:

“If they don’t (like it), then they can boot us out (in next year’s election).”

Don’t worry, Rick. That’s exactly what’s going to happen.
