When Premier McGuinty announced his resignation, he said that it was time for new ideas and a renewal of the Ontario Liberal Party. After having some time to think about what kind of renewal we want to see in our party, I realized that I’ve had a front seat to

Defending Public Healthcare: Will PCs give Liberals a blank cheque?
Tim Hudak’s concerns about the proposed Liberal public sector bargaining legislation are numerous. The legislation fails to impose an immediate pay freeze on workers. (“It’s not a wage freeze, it just kicks the problem down the road until 2015 and then maybe gets around to freezing wages at a higher level.”) It exempts municipal
Continue readingDefending Public Healthcare: Hudak keeps open option of alliance with Liberals
Progressive Conservative leader Tim Hudak has kept his powder dry and has reframed from personally criticizing the Liberals’ proposed public sector labour legislation. Or even commenting on it. Instead, he sent out Monte McNaughton, who faulted the proposed legislation in all sorts of ways: the legislation “is clearly lacking

Is that a rooster crowing I hear? Yesterday Tracey Weiler, the “Progressive” Conservative candidate in Kitchener-Waterloo ran as far as she possibly could away from Tea-Party Tim Hudak. First in an interview with CTV Kitchener: Then during the Waterloo Record Debate: It is understandable that Ms. Weiler would run away

It’s now apparent that the Pogressive Conservatives will allow the Liberals to batter teachers and school support staff with legislation imposing takeaways. Even if this legislation does pass, the question is what will the twin parties do to the rest of the public sector? There is, after all, a lot

The Ontario Liberal government has largely justified its rush to outlaw free collective bargaining in the education sector by claiming that without such legislation junior teachers will be up for their normal increment steps on the wage grid as they accrue more experience as teachers. To wit, they argue: “Current teacher and support

… and fast! I know that there is more to the OLP than just this single issue. But this issue is very important to me as a voter and as someone who can be an ardent and vocal supporter (with cheque in hand), if I feel that my voice would

“I’ve had the pleasure of working with Parker on the 2012 provincial election campaign.

“You know, most Canadians, if they don’t show up for work, they don’t get a promotion.” – Jack Layton On Tuesday, April 24th the 17 MPPs in the Ontario NDP caucus (led by Andea Howarth) skipped out on voting on Ontario’s 2012 budget. This action is confusing. It looks like a huge

So as expected, the McGuinty Liberals compromised with the NDP on the 2012 Ontario budget, applying a surtax to those who earn more than $500,000 a year, in order to fend off another forced election in a no confidence vote. Of course, the aloof Conservatives under Tim Hudak will still vote against the
