After much calm and sober thought

The opening of a Toronto Star column in which Haroon Siddiqui touts Kathleen Wynne as the best choice for premier:

Destroy the village to save it. That was the American logic during the Vietnam War in burning My Lai and massacring 400 women and children.

Kill 100,000 jobs in the public sector to create 1 million new jobs. That’s Tim Hudak’s plan to save the Ontario economy.

As for the Liberals,

The government is, arguably, less “corrupt” now than it was last year or the year before – if it ever was “corrupt” in the sense most people understand it.

  1. He had better get a sling for his nose or he will trip on it. He never has tried to hide the fact that he is a shameless shill for the left.

  2. ” massacring 400 women and children. ”
    Hmmm. I don’t remember it that way.
    But I suppose that if the original 22 had lived and had children and those children had children ….
    …holy crap, the butterfly effect, almost every murder is a mass murder.

  3. Is scandal the Arabic word for “d**k”? In which case I might believe him.

  4. In all the decades I’ve seen the Toronto Star, I’ve never yet seen an article by Siddiqui that wasn’t pure horse manure from start to finish. This one continues his flawless record.

  5. As a general proposition, Stephen J. Harper was able to attract 2.657 million votes in Ontario in the last general election, which is probably more or less the same number of votes that Trudeau, Sr. was able to attract nation-wide in the 1968 “landslide”.
    As a further general proposition, every Conservative with whom I am acquainted, except for my Dad, who passed away last year, has now voted for Tim Hudak. Some of those who have voted for Mr. Hudak might actually surprise you (their names certainly surprise me) — in fact, I have to go out of town tomorrow to assuage a few hurt feelings on this score.

  6. Plumbing the depths of stupid…maybe he should look up non sequitor.

  7. Don’t know much about Hudak so I will watch the debate with interest to night. As a rule not much interested in eastern Canada but the vote might be a indicator of the CPC chances next year.

  8. Quote: “Kill 100,000 jobs in the public sector to create 1 million new jobs. That’s Tim Hudak’s plan to save the Ontario economy.”
    Let’s see: 1,000,000 – 100,000 = 900,000. (Phew, math is hard!)
    In summation of Hudak’s plan: Yes, precisely. Starting with the Liberal Party of Ontario.

  9. Of course. Those extra jobs would most likely be non-union jobs anyway, so how could they possibly “contribute” to Ontario’s (public sector) growth? /sarc

  10. “… if it ever was “corrupt” in the sense most people understand it.”
    At some point, sufficiently-advanced incompetence is indistinguishable from corruption. Or malice.

  11. “The government is, arguably, less “corrupt” now than it was last year or the year before” …
    Your wife / husband is cheating less on you than she / he was last year or the year before. …

  12. BUT,Ontarians will still “vote for the Premier”.
    Wynne will have a majority government and will reward all her PSU friends accordingly.
    Wait for it.
