I’m tried of all the moaning about Ontario potentially losing its standing as a “have” province in Confederation. Consider just some of the upsides of becoming a “have-not” province:
- Hear Saskatchewan has extra futon we could crash on.
- McGuinty no longer expected to pick up tab when premiers go together to strip club.
- Being from poor side of the tracks makes you attractive to rich, flighty spendthrifts like Paris Hilton and Alberta.
- Ontarians no longer legally required to wear monocles.
- Maybe Danny Williams’ windshield needs a good squeegee?
- Understuffed wallet no threat to wear away fabric in back pocket of province’s denim shorts.
- Quebec’s been one for years and those guys get all the breaks.
- According to fine print of equalization formula, every Ontario resident now owed one glass of lemonade served personally by Gordon Campbell.
- “Have-not” provinces renowned for all-night, heavy-drinking parties set to fiddle music in steerage while snooty “have” provinces must endure Billy Zane’s terrible overacting.
- That’ll teach Newfoundland and Labrador to be self-sufficient.
