Inquiring minds want to know.
Haliburton-Kawartha Lakes-Brock should be a safe seat for John Tory,especially considering he is the leader.
It could be because the likes of the Toronto Star-- which is representative of the elitist socially liberal chattering classes of urban Ontario-- consider John Tory "urbane" and "progressive". That's code for supporting big government, abortion, and lots of tax-and-spend.
If he were really a threat to those with a vested interest in big government-- be they financial or ideological-- do you think the Toronto Star would be so keen on him?
John Tory needs someone like Tim Hudak to soften his Red Tory image to the right-wing voters of HKLB. A by-election to elect a leader of the opposition should be a walk in the park.
And why is the press even asking Tim Hudak about his support for John Tory. Shouldn't it be obvious that he supports his leader?
This does not bode well for the PC's. Even if John Tory does get elected, will he support socially and fiscally conservative policies?
Based on his past, somehow I doubt it.
Voters of HKLB, if you want to support a truly conservative option, vote for the Family Coalition Party.
