Well, Steve, for those of us "out west", Toronto IS "back east"
But yes, you are right and it was never more obvious than when "Windy" Wendy initiated her pathetic "Ban AR15, handguns, potato guns" etc. ePetition 1923 in the fall of 2018. Over a period of 120 days, it received 20,110 signatures, 16,081 (
80%) of which came from..... (drum roll, please)..... ONTARIO!
The subsequent two, (petition 2341,sponsored by Glen Motz) ran for only 60 days and received 175,310 signatures, reasonably distributed across the country (56.071 from Ontario); the current one, sponsored by Michelle Rempel Garner, beginning on May 5 and not closing until Sept. 2, has already received 219,013 verified signatures, again reasonably distributed across the country (72,477 from Ontario).
No bloody wonder the west is fed up
