""Early political career[edit]

Hudak ran in the provincial election of 1995 in the riding of Niagara South. He defeated Liberal Aubrey Foley by 1,081 votes.[5] At the age of 27 Hudak was the second-youngest Member of Provincial Parliament (MPP) elected in 1995, the youngest being John Baird.[6] The Progressive Conservatives won a majority government under Mike Harris, and Hudak was appointed Parliamentary Assistant to Minister of Health Jim Wilson. He later served as Parliamentary Assistant to Wilson's successor, Elizabeth Witmer.[7] During this term the government closed 28 hospitals and fired more than 6,000 nurses


Hoodat and Harris got rid of a lot of hula hoops (Harris word for nurse), cut back on oversight and gave us Walkerton.


Nice folks............for the 1930's...........in Germany.

I think the people of Ontario are prepared to give her more time in office
at least from what I hear. The other problem is the Tories are less popular
Federally also and if the Liberals win big Provincially it could spell serious
trouble for minority bound or outright loss for Harper in 2015 .

Mr. Hudak, meanwhile, has spent a lot of time fighting divisions in his party, including a spat over controversial right-to-work policies that led to the firing of a candidate last week. And now, he must battle Ms. Horwath to hold on to his place as principal opposition leader.

Universal Declaration of Human Rights:

Article 20.

  • (1) Everyone has the right to freedom of peaceful assembly and association.
  • (2) No one may be compelled to belong to an association.
Article 23.

  • (1) Everyone has the right to work, to free choice of employment, to just and favourable conditions of work and to protection against unemployment.
  • (2) Everyone, without any discrimination, has the right to equal pay for equal work.
  • (3) Everyone who works has the right to just and favourable remuneration ensuring for himself and his family an existence worthy of human dignity, and supplemented, if necessary, by other means of social protection.
  • (4) Everyone has the right to form and to join trade unions for the protection of his interests.

It would seem to me that right to work legislation conforms to Article 20 and 23(1) pertaining to the 'right to work'. Who's against the Universal Declaration of Human Rights?

Not necessarily. It's common to vote differently provincially and federally.

In Ontario the Progressive Conservatives picked the wrong leader and the proof is in the fact that people are supporting the Liberals.
