Letter of the Day

In the land of false hopes

Re: Ontario teachers 'regret' Mickey Mouse prank (Feb. 22). I am not sure what all the fuss is about. Our NDP provincial government has been pulling "elaborate pranks" on us since 1999, not unlike what the Windsor-area teachers did to their students.

The NDP's carefully orchestrated campaigns, promising everything from improvements in health care to balanced budgets, have led us to believe great change was in the air. But, alas, the final PowerPoint slide comes up and instead of going to Disney World, we get to visit the land of false hopes and false expectations.
