Who don't like the federal Tories bad-mouthing the country's industrial heartland, or demonizing their duly elected officials either!
Sean in Saskatchewan makes note of the scathing blog post today from Paul Wells on this whole debacle, and this editorial in the Saskatoon Star Phoenix likewise laments Flaherty's actions.
An Ontarian might worry that the rest of the country loves the idea of picking on or mocking big, bad Ontario, but I think my fellow Canadians deserve more credit. As the Saskatoon paper points out, no Alberta government or Quebec government (or Newfoundland government, or...) would ever put up with this kind of crap, nor would their citizens, and I don't think other provinces expect us to put up with it either. If I were the McGuinty government I'd pretty much ignore all the bluster from Ottawa these days, and spend a lot of time on the phone with Charest, and Stelmch, and Williams et al...
Surely they can't be pleased at all of this either.

No worries:
"A new poll suggests Ontario Premier Dalton McGuinty has a lot of public support in his continuing feud with federal Finance Minister Jim Flaherty.
Nationally, the poll suggests 47 per cent of respondents sided with Mr. McGuinty, with only 27 per cent backing Mr. Flaherty."
it should be noted that I am an Ont ex-pat.

The real question is, what's the average IQ of that 27%? It can't be double digits...
