Hudak starts to sound like a conservative

The contractors who police themselves - most notably: winter roads maintenance. Before MTO was ground down to nothing - even with the slackers who attach themselves to government work - an MTO patrol person was in charge. Now, contractors (read: lowest bidder) are trusted to do the job. Contractors can bill more for plowing - hence the reason for snowplows plowing sunshine from highways. Contractors use salt and calcium chloride - not because it works better (It doesn't work at all below -15°) but because they dispatch fewer loads. Bureaucrats detest confrontation with citizens. Contractors don't have to answer to citizens.
Contractors aren't shy about going "over budget" when the pit is apparently bottomless. Darlington nuclear power project springs quickly to mind

Great to see the PC platform emerge day by day. Another great announcement!
Hudak says he would cut corporate taxes by 30 per cent - The Globe and Mail
u mad?
I'm wondering how much property taxes will go up when those "100,000" civil servants and the services they represent are downloaded onto municipalities
Cut corp tax 30%, cut income tax 10% who the **** is going to pay for ****. You brainless twats haven't got a ****in' clue if you think that's anywhere near realistic . Red that ******* !
OMG - since when can government create jobs? Are you serious?? Give your head a shake - please! Business and industries create jobs man, come on!
I'm not sure I understand what you're talking about. Downloading how? Please explain.
Aaaaand we've officially hit a new low folks.
More people working = greater tax revenue even at a lower rate. Not too difficult a topic to understand.
I still believe the Liberals will hold on in Ontario despite the critical mass of make believe
presented by the Tories. The NDP made a giant mistake in not supporting the present
government the Tories would be worse for ordinary people

Not long ago, Stephen Harper mused about scoring a hat trick in Ontario -- a Tory at Toronto City Hall, a Tory at Queen's Park and himself -- Dear Leader -- in Ottawa.
This morning, Rob Ford is in rehab; Tim Hudak has resigned; and Stephen Harpers future -- who knows?
The province has finally turned its back on the 1990s-style Common Sense Revolution championed by former premier Mike Harris and re-offered by Tim Hudak in 2014. Clearly, Ontarians, in their wisdom, have decided that returning to the days of hostile austerity and ideology run amok is not for them.
The big centre ground the old PCs of Bill Davis used to dominate has now moved over to the Ontario Liberals. Much of the Liberal victory has to do with Kathleen Wynne's personality and leadership abilities. But the Ontario PCs' refusal to give up its hard right turn of the 1990s also has much to do with it. Ontarians simply aren't interested in tearing down government for the sake of a few tax cuts; they want quality public services and quality public infrastructure and they'll grudgingly re-elect governments who sometimes raise taxes to offer these things. Ontarians don't hate working people or unions as much as some Tories, at their most ugly, seem to instinctively.
After their 2003 loss, the Ontario PCs seemed to understand that Ontario had turned away from the Common Sense Revolution of Mike Harris. So they elected a moderate in John Tory to lead them forward instead of Jim Flaherty. In a misguided sop to his party's right-wing, Tory promised to introduce public funding for religious schools, a decision which backfired immensely and got him defeated in 2007. After two painful years of trying to hang on, Tory finally called it a day after losing a 2009 by-election. After that, the Mike Harris wing of the party swept Tim Hudak into the leadership, insisting that a return to the Common Sense Revolution was their ticket back to power.

Harper's talk of Tory trifecta handicaps Hudak, pollster says - The Globe and Mail
Not surprised you'd think BS

'If there is hope,' wrote Winston, 'it lies in the proles.............Might have been Orwel's philosophy, but he didn't say it. A character named Winston in the book "1984" said it.
Still, good post.;-) Maybe Timmy will end up in the gutter, abandoned by his Con buddies, driven to drugs and booze,..............hooonoze!
