Ontario fairness

It appears that Premier Dalton McGuinty has made some gains for Ontarians (1, 2 in funding for health care, education, infrastructure, and a number of other fronts. His Ontario Fairness website has been up for some time, it seems, as part of a lengthy battle to get federal representation and funding that is actually proportional to our population.

Congratulations, McGuinty, on your successes in this regard.

I think this is especially commendable because, surprisingly, Ontarians don't seem to be clamouring on the Parliament front lawn demanding it. I've known of McGuinty's cause (from his website) since before we immigrated, yet this is the first time I've heard anything about it in the media or anywhere other than his website. Do people just not know about it, or feel like it doesn't affect them, or don't think it does any good to make a stink over it? Maybe they do, and I just haven't been hanging with the right crowd.
