Hamilton Spectator editorial cartoonist Graeme MacKay knows all about the opportunities an election brings. From Rae Days to Common Sense politics;  faith-based school funding to the political longing for buck a beer, he’s seen – and drawn – it all.

“As Ontarians we all need to ask ourselves the old election question: are we better off now than we were 5, 10 or 20 years ago?” MacKay muses about the June 12 vote.  “I say no, but it’s been an interesting ride down the slide.”

Here are some of his notable moments from elections past.  Click here to see MacKay’s originals. Click on any image to see a larger view.
