Tim Hudak, the new PC leader in Ontario;
“For too long, individual rights have been trampled and ignored by an increasingly dysfunctional Human Rights bureaucracy. The McGuinty government’s system has advanced nuisance claims and denied justice and legitimate complaints, costing individuals and businesses thousands of dollars in unnecessary costs and clogging the system.”
Stephen Taylor has a line up of Youtube interviews from the convention.
The Ontario Cons have finally given me a reason to get out of my chair on election day, the same of which can’t be said for their federal cousins.
I agree Mississauga, I’ll vote PC, in Ontario.
Go Tim!
I”ll sit as long as Harper thinks converting the internet into a spying device of the “State” , supporting the CHRCs and increasing spending is cool though.
Good luck at the polls Steve.
Time to grow a pair.
Does anyone notice any difference between Iggy’s platform and Steve’s?
Maybe Prime Minister Steve should put “progressive” in the party name and quit acting like a freaking Trudeupian Statist.
Cher quote, from some terrible movie
/SLAP/
“Snap Out of it”
What about caledonia?
Hudak has time both the time to unite the Party and the time to get it ready for an election. There is also good reason to support his efforts.
From the e-health records scandal , to the Ontario Lottery Corporation scandal to the $32 million dollar Colle-gate scandal, the McGuinty government has shown itself time and again unfit to lead Ontario.
It is time to give Tim Hudak and the Progressive Conservative Party a chance to turn Ontario from a ‘have-not’ province into a ‘have’ province.
It is to be hoped that “common sense” returns to Ontario….
The only thing McSquinty has done that makes sense is outlawing “no-clothesline” bylaws.
I was hoping for Randy Hillier to win, looks like socialism in Ontario is unavoidable. Yawn, back to work. Election? What election? Leave me alone.
Hudak’s commendable statement is another sign that there’s been a definite change in a (relatively) short period of time. If you think back to two or three years ago, opponents of the HRC were regularly and readily tagged with the “nazi-sympathizer” label. These days, even the most egregious progs like Dr. Dawg have pretty much had to park that specious argument at the curb.
The MSM coverage — CTV, G&M, the Star — has shifted big time, too. It’s hard to find a credible opinion-journalist or an editorial unequivocally in favour of section 13. The headline of an editorial today’s Montreal Gazette — “Rights commission threatens our liberty” — states exactly what people deemed extremists or extremist sympathizers were saying three years ago.
The section 13-ers have clearly lost the public debate, and all their momentum, which makes it hard to figure out why Jennifer Lynch hasn’t been canned, and why she can still get away with her unaccountable passive-aggressive routine.
The CPC approved a motion, at their policy convention, to get rid of HRC Section 13. Harper has spoken against it. So have others in his cabinet. However, actually getting that through the House Legislation would be almost impossible.
That’s because the hypocrites, the Liberals, NDP and Bloc, who are in the majority, would leap on the Motion, and redefine it as an act REMOVING Human Rights.
After all, most people, when they hear the term ‘Human Rights Commission’ and ‘Human Rights Act’ logically think that such a commission and act genuinely is assisting ‘human rights’.
Most people don’t know that the current HRC and HRAct actually deprives people of their rights, abuses human rights, and deeply harms people who don’t follow the hard left opinions. And most certainly, the three Opposition Parties, whose sole agenda wouldn’t be about Human Rights but above VOTES, would go all out to misinform and manipulate the public.
So, it’s easy for Tim Hudak to, as Opposition in the province, declare his rejection of the HRC and Section 13. Since it’s not an election period, he can start a ‘drip’ campaign to correctly inform people about it, leaving the Liberals on the defensive.
This is quite different from Harper bringing the Motion to the House, where it would most certainly be defeated, and used as a strategy to misinform the public to obtain Liberal/NDP votes.
How to keep PM Harper for ever
or at least 25 years with miniorty government
he is still young!!!
with no offend to otehr parties!!!
even we can argue with
Ahamdinigad or not let him stay after next 4 year finish
if
random count in Iran proof that
election was fraud
then Iran election need to seek
new election
and may new candiate within 6 month
with no fault to Ahamdinigad to change to better president evern better than Mosavi if
they have Iran I heard too many Iranian good are available none of them wish to die soon and go to politic with high risk of security
=========

Sir John Alexander Macdonald, GCB, KCMG, PC, PC (Can), (January 11,[1] 1815 – June 6, 1891) was the first Prime Minister of Canada and the dominant figure of Canadian Confederation. Macdonald’s tenure in office spanned 18 years, making him the second longest serving Prime Minister of Canada. He is the only Canadian Prime Minister to win six majority governments. He was the major proponent of a national railway, completed in 1885, linking Canada from the Atlantic to the Pacific Oceans. He won praise for having helped forge a nation of sprawling geographic size, with two diverse European colonial origins, numerous Aboriginal nations, and a multiplicity of cultural backgrounds and political views.

The Canadian ten-dollar bill is one of the most common banknotes of the Canadian dollar. It was the first bill printed when Canada changed its banknotes in 2001.
The current ten-dollar bill is dominantly purple in colour. The front features a portrait of Sir John A. Macdonald, the coat of arms, and a picture of the Library of Parliament. A security feature visible from the front consists of three shiny maple leaves. The reverse side depicts images related to warfare and remembrance; this is accompanied by a quotation from John McCrae’s poem “In Flanders Fields”. Yellow dots representing the EURion constellation can be found on both sides (and on all 2001 series notes). As well as textured printing, this design includes Braille dots for the blind indicating the denomination as a new tactile feature.

Nice elitist caste system you got there torybaiter, is your first name Ruby?
“Hudak is indeed “Wal-MArt Man!”
OK, Liberals think they’re better than everybody that has ever worked at Walmart, thanks for explaining.
You should make that part of the next election.
Unless you are brain dead or have no experience yourself you all know that education is not a prerequisite for elected office or for brains for that matter. The big O down south has a Law Degree at Princeton, I believe, but does he know anything or has he done anything? Iggy has a great Education but brags he has never invested in a retirement Fund or the Market. Like PET he thinks we all eat cake. Good guy to have on board in the PMO’s office while you are fighting to make retirement.
If Mr. Hudak’s first step is to get rid of the execrable Ontario HRT, his second should be to can GE-GEA; the Green Energy and Green Economy Act, and its ridiculous mandatory, distributor-paid high fixed prices for photovoltaic and other so-called renewable energy. I get the renewable part; it’s the energy that’s missing.
I do not like sound of his name it is better
than Ignitiff though to say it
he look young
do not know anything about him
people who work in business world can change the
economic change in Ontario
His wife look older than him , when I saw him in news yesterday having baby in her hand
too old to have baby
alchol caused women look older than men in canada
sorry
we can count him as future PM of Canada
and shop Wal-mart every day
thanks god he is not like
President candiate of Iran Mosavi
who was hide for 20 years from policti
and so far 20 people died in Iran
In canada every body know where each person come from before become premier in Province
Our only hope of Muslim that
He can stop the
gays pray in Ontario
and influence to change prostite law in Vancover
and stop sexy caribian day too
we send all sex back to where they come from
to praid it in future
we count on you Mr.Hudak
to find better solution for economic changes in Ontario
to cut some days fun
I know Ontraio need money
but we got sick of see naked men and women
to bring trousim in canada too
we need better way to made money and attract tourism in canada
the only think I heard he was with
Mr. harris that
did not like immigrant and everybody called him
raciy men I am not sure it is true but defintly
Hariss was strange odd men compare with polite men in Canada and diverce his wife too
he must focus to solution of problems in canada more seriously
torybaiter said: “Just wondering, if I can get a job at Wal-Mart as a greeter can I be the next Minister of Finance?”
Could you -keep- a job as a WalMart greeter? Like, for more than a week?
Tell you what my pompous friend, here’s what higher education gets you in a leader:
“We believe that the coup was not legal and that President Zelaya remains the president of Honduras, the democratically elected president there,” Obama told reporters…
Shorter Barry: “Hey! Stop rockin’ the boat a-holes!”
Which, oddly, echoes the stance of human rights legends and defenders of democratic principles Mr. Fidel Castro of Cuba, and Mr. Hugo Chavez of Venezuela. Oh, and Hillary Clinton of Hillary Care and gun control fame.
I don’t even pretend to know what the issues and facts are in the Honduran uproar, but common bloody sense indicates being on-side with mass murderer Fidel and wannabe sidekick Hugo is not where the TOTUS ought to be.
Even a frickin’ WalMart greeter could figure that out.
good news indeed!
another incremental move in the right direction.
the sound of the ratchet may be familiar to folks over at the ontario tribunal (ex-commission) but i think that same sound coming from outside their comfortable space is not so comforting these days.
WOW, what a time the past 10 days has been. Earth is rid of 2 of the most obnoxious sources of greenhouse gas. Michael Jackson AND Billy Mays. Good Riddance to both.
On the otherhand, a childhood fantasy gone…way too early, “So long Farah”.
and an idol, “goodbye Fred”.
I would give gold to haqve seen the look on Ed Stelmecks face. He made this Inquisition his hobby horse with more power. He watched his own downfall with this pick. He now stands exposed as the Socialist anti-democrat he is.
This is good news on all fronts. It finnaly is sinking into the Canadian conciouness how bad these roo courts are for them.

From Wiki:
Hudak was born in Fort Erie, Ontario. He received a bachelor of arts degree in economics from the University of Western Ontario in 1990. He then went on to attend the University of Washington in Seattle where he received a master’s degree in economics in 1993. Prior to being elected, Hudak worked in economic and tourism development with the Economic Development and Tourism Corporation in Fort Erie. Hudak had been previously employed as a Canada Customs border inspector from 1988 to 1993, and in 1994, was hired as an assistant manager by Wal-Mart to help with the transition of former Woolco stores into Wal-Marts.
Soo Economics Degrees, Management experience, Border Guard defending Canada’s interests. It just gets better. And that Princely Saint; The Big O; a Law Degree and NO EXPERIENCE; Nada, Zip, Zero. Gosh how difficult to choose between the two. Except for a Racist. For a Racist, it’s a slam dunk.
is Mr Hudak going to turn the ont provincial conservatives into a 1 issue party?
I hope so.
