Any Manitoban knows that Hugh McFadyen is a right of left of center leader. He's hardly a true blue Conservative. But this musing from prominent and respected (even by me) Liberal, and blogger Warren Kinsella just tore up any chance Hugh had of getting this bloggers vote.

Now that the Manitoba election has been called, I can disclose that Hugh McFadyen is a friend. We used to work together at Brokeback Consultants. When he told me, in confidence, that he was leaving to return home to Manitoba, I told him he was crazy. If he stayed, I told him, he'd be Ontario's Premier in no time.

Now, of course, I see that I had the right church, but the wrong pew.

After seeing that comment, I wish Hugh was the Premier of Ontario. And I wish Manitobans had a choice that wasn't on the left side of the political spectrum. I'm gonna spend E-day getting drunk and cursing the world.
