Well that's good, considering cynicism is what made ignorant voters turn against good people like Wynne in the first place.

Now they'll have an adjustment in priorities to see what's really important instead of getting so worked up about their hydro bill.

The Liberals have expired in Ontario. It would be good for Ontario ... even for the Ontario Liberal party to fire them for a time so that they can get rid of the rot and re-build.

Conbots said that about the last election as well.

The truth is that no one has expired.

The parties were all within a reasonable distance of each other in support.

The electorate will decide. Perhaps, the NDP will do an end-run and surprise everybody.

I'm listening to a PC lawyer Mark Tewey, and he's saying that this may be an inside job as many people , those who control the party, do not like him for whatever reason.

Mainly for the way he got elected as Party leader which many are not happy about. He's suggesting that if it was the Libs they would have waited until closer to the election which makes sense.......

Towhey worked for Rob Ford, so that's the level of stupidity we're dealing with here.


Ontario Tories have little time to make sense of what Patrick Brown left behind

As of Wednesday morning, the Tories were the odds-on favourites to replace an unpopular Liberal government in its 15th year, and they seemed to be on a low-risk path toward presenting themselves as a passable option. Now they are going to have to throw away any kind of normal playbook, just to be ready to compete.

A big part of their problem is logistical. A typical leadership contest of the sort that elected Mr. Brown in 2015, in which all party members get a vote, would have to be so compressed that it could prove disastrously chaotic. But the most obvious alternative, to leave the leadership choice to caucus, would risk alienating the grassroots. Presuming that caucus would choose from within its own ranks, it would also limit the field – ruling out the likes of Caroline Mulroney and Rod Phillips, recent recruits as star riding-level candidates, not to mention Christine Elliott, the former MPP who was runner-up to Mr. Brown last time around.

But even if the Tories manage to land on a reasonably smooth process, and even if it selects someone who under the right circumstances could win Ontarians over, that leader will have a very short amount of time in which to make sense of a party recently been rebuilt according to Mr. Brown's vision for it.

It's anyone's guess how many of the people Mr. Brown brought into the tent will now choose to exit it. So with a couple of months at most to prepare for the election and introduce himself or herself to Ontarians, his successor will either have to start virtually from scratch, or work with an apparatus custom-built for a leader last seen literally fleeing the building.

All these allegations are beginning to bore me. I could probably go back oh, 15 or 20 years and I'm sure there's someone that I could accuse of something. But quite frankly, I'd rather put it behind me and let it go.


These women are absolutely astonishing in their attacks and I don't envy men right now. I'm wondering how many are searching their minds for activities they did (like stealing a kiss, or slapping a bum) and who might come after them.


This whole "metoo" situation puts those who have been raped and physically harmed in the same category as those who are accusing these men for minor missteps and it drives me bananas as true victims don't deserve all this B.S. How selfish we have become (we meaning women).


And, what has happened to innocent until proven guilty? Many of these men have said they aren't guilty and as a lawyer I heard on the radio state, these men who say they are innocent need to have the balls to stand up to those women if they are being wrongly accused instead of going and hiding. No man is safe, that's for sure and we've become a society of judges without due process. It is extremely worrisome for sure!! And, if this is the way women want to actually gain a better footing in society, I don't want anything to do with it.


And those so-called "power" women like Oprah, Mariel Streep et el should be ashamed of themselves for not saying anything for 10, 20 or more years. How many victims could they have prevented and didn't.


Anyhoo, that's my opinion.

These 2 cases sound like they were found and encouraged to tell their story. If this wasn't all the rage it may not have ever come up........

One thing we do not need is non scientific corporate conservatives running Ontario.
Don;t like the liberals either. Im green but We can at least hope for NDP to get in maybe.

Why do you want to destroy what few jobs are left?

Well that's good, considering cynicism is what made ignorant voters turn against good people like Wynne in the first place.

Now they'll have an adjustment in priorities to see what's really important instead of getting so worked up about their hydro bill.

The ignorant voters are the ones that elected Wynne in the first place.

I have to say that I am heartened by the fact that the PC party and Brown decided to take this course of action, regardless of whether or not the allegations are ultimately true. It is something Trump and Roy Moore should have done as well but this just shows how the Canadian political system is healthy, while the American one is dysfunctional.
Right. Which is why Trudeau and Morneau still haven't stepped down for violating federal law.
Funny that eh? You approve of Conservatives resigning over allegations yet insist that Trudeau is completely innocent of federal violations of which he has actually been found guilty.

Then we have the Ontario Liberals who shoved a sex-ed curriculum on the children that was drafted by a convicted pedophile. Yet you defended the curriculum and the Liberal's decision to go with it because it was just so "progressive".

Spare us your false morality. It's a f*cking joke.

Are you for real?

Tell the history of the new sex ed curriculum.
I just did. Here's the long version. Benjamin Levin drafted the sex-ed curriculum. Benjamin Levin was convicted of pedophilia and being in possession of child pornography. He also "counselled" parents to take pictures of their sexually abused children and post them on-line so he could look at them.
That's all you need to know. Ontario's sex-ed curriculum was drafted by a pedophile. Period!
