1985 Ontario No Confidence Motion

Here's the no confidence motion that passed in the Ontario Legislature on June 18th, 1984, which resulted in the defeat of Miller's government and its replacement by the Peterson government.

"We, Her Majesty's most dutiful and loyal subjects, the Legislative Assembly of the province of Ontario, now assembled, beg leave to thank Your Honour for the gracious speech Your Honour has addressed to us, but since the Miller Conservative government, even while borrowing frantically from the policies of other parties, has failed to provide progressive leadership for Ontario and failed to deal with the major challenges facing the province; and since it is the responsibility of this Legislature to reflect the democratic will of the people as expressed in the election of May 2, 1985, it is our duty to respectfully submit to Your Honour that Your Honour's present government does not have the confidence of this House."

— Ontario Hansard

This appears to be the conclusion of the Throne Speech debate. The Throne Speech was made on June 4th, and debate continued over several days until the final no confidence motion on the 18th.

Up and at 'em... Atom Ani!

I'm a bad environmentalist. I'm not rabidly anti-nuclear power. (What am I missing?)

So while I really like Ani's tune, "The Atom", I don't know that I agree with its premise. That's weird for me.
