Ford was elected by the suburbs. And Harper was chosen by rural Ontarians.<br /><br />That is the divide.

Tonight we learn that the military is dangerously low of funds. And this week we saw the finance minister nix any improvement<br />in the Canada pension. The former will make the militaristic nationalist conservative base mad and the later will cause anger against the conservatives, particularly in Ontario.
