Its truncated, sure. But anyone’s first impression of PCPO MPP Lisa defending Tim Hudak’s jobs plan is that a Hudak gov. will somehow include women taking maternity leave in its total of 100,000 civil servants fired. Clarification is surely needed.

The PCs have released the economic analysis under their million-jobs plan. It’s by Benjamin Zycher, of the American Enterprise Institute.— David Reevely (@davidreevely) May 13, 2014 One thing to know about the American Enterprise Institute is they’ve lobbied in the past against policies to curb both smoking and anthropogenic global

Their news release can be found here. But here’s a screen shot just in case they try to alter it: Because Tom Adams, no friend of wind energy, says point 1. is just wrong: @Bigcitylib2 The PCs have a press release claiming $20B savings per year. Must be a typo.

Tim Hudak’s PCPOs have an excuse for why Mr. Hudak got his ass tossed off the TTC this morning for attempting to film an “availability” without getting clearance from the proper authorities. CUPE workers stop Tim Hudak photo op on the TTC. They are only interested themselves, not fixing transit

On CBC The House, Tim Hudak said he would increase class sizes to economize. Increase class size to 60 students per teacher #Onpoli #VoteON— Nickie (@MuskokaMoneybag) May 11, 2014 The “?” is because I didn’t listen to The House yesterday. Should be easy enough to verify, though. PS. Between about

BURLINGTON – The Ontario Professional Fire Fighters Association came out against Progressive Conservative Leader Tim Hudak’s plan to cut 100,000 jobs from the public sector. “Tim Hudak can’t seem to make up his mind. He says he wants to bring jobs to the province, but then announced this morning that he plans to

Tim Hudak is a boob. And if that means Kathleen Wynne gets re-elected, don’t blame me. It wasn’t my idea. That’s the spirit! Despair, self-loathing! Ontario’s political right as they get a close look at the pug they chose to carry their banner. And we’re barely a week into the

From Innovative Research. Looks like the gas plant fiasco has run out of steam. And its hard to suggest with numbers like these that Andrea Horwath’s NDP has any kind of “momentum”. Therefore: a budget deal in the works? A Spring election averted? That’s how I’m starting to lean.

New Oraclepoll shows Ont tied: Libs 35%, PCs 34, NDP 23. Sample +/- 3% fm March 21-30 (amid OPP news on 27th). Echoes recent Forum poll— Martin Regg Cohn (@reggcohn) April 2, 2014 I’ve never heard of Oracle. Their website is here. Nick Kouvalis (John Tory’s current and Rob Ford’s

The Star is bullish on an election call: The minority Liberal government doesn’t intend to negotiate with the New Democrats in order to get their support for the spring budget, a senior Liberal insider says.That could set the stage for a provincial election in June and also puts the spotlight

One from NANOS, that is: The Liberals are at 36 percent support followed by the PCs at 33 percent and the NDP at 25 percent. The Green Party had 7 percent in Ontario. I freely admit to commenting on Forum polls, especially when they give a result I approve up. “They suck,

On Monday the Conservatives sent out a release, attributing the following statements to [now former Conservative nominee in Thunder Bay-Superior North Tamara] Johnson: “As of this time, I am no longer the candidate for the Ontario PC Party in the riding of Thunder Bay-Superior North. “I support the aims and

Anothger Hudak flip-flop, it seems. From the Owen Sound Sun Times, February 21st:PC Leader Tim Hudak has said that he wants to end the monopoly on beer and liquor sales by allowing the sale of alcohol in private outlets like corner and grocery stores. From today: Tory Leader @timhudak won’t

Let the NDP crow for a day. They’ve earned it. As for a Spring election, its about as likely/unlikely as it was yesterday morning, which means we’ll probably have one. And as to the likely result, well, Kathleen will be dogged by anti-wind protesters at her rural events. Our wild

Follow the man’s argument: The proverb “shirtsleeves to shirtsleeves in three generations” refers to a family’s generational cycle through poverty and prosperity; does this proverb also reflect Ontario’s political generations?The proverb demonstrates a timeless truth that the family’s first generation start off with little, and with hard work create a

PCPO candidates are falling like flies out in Hamilton. “Personal reasons”. Conflicts on election night. They promised to stay home and bathe their pet turtles. Oh and here’s a new Forum Poll; Tories lead in Ont. is down to three points, allegedly because of their right-to-work proposals. But remember,

Then they should go ahead and meet him. Oppo leaders often meet people the premier won’t, as they typically have more time on their hands than the premier. It would be a lovely opportunity for a photo-op with the mayor. I’m sure Tim Hudak would like more pictures of him

Just in case we have a Spring election here in Ontario, something which, given Andrea Horwath’s fairly poor recent polling numbers, I am not convinced will happen.
