Citizen columnist: Hudak is “tough on logic, tough on your wallet”
…and he’s still a gutless, misleading, waffler:
Stop spending our tax money on unnecessary measures.
…and he’s still a gutless, misleading, waffler:

Talk about burying the lede:
“It was a petition that came from my church in my riding back in 1998 that I brought forward as an individual member,” Hudak said.”
This is actually news. The PC’s leader has been repeatedly saying only that he “may have” pledged defund abortion. Oh, but only as a private citizen, don’t you know.
Well, he isn’t a private citizen. He’s someone who has a shot at becoming the most powerful lawmaker in the province. So, when he says he’ll stop funding abortion, it now means something.
Not “may have” meant something.
I was on my pal Jim Richards’ show on Newstalk 1010 earlier today. It was a lot of fun, as always. At one point, I told Jim that Tim Hudak’s slithery, slippery performance on HST (“stop it in its tracks,” now for it), FDK (a “shiny toy,” now for it), human rights tribunals (scrap them, now for ’em), health taxes (kill them, now hug them), and now abortion (“defund,” now “nothing to see here, move along,”etc.) reminds me of something. A living thing. “What is it?” said Jim.
So I said it.

Voters deserve clarity from Hudak, party leaders on abortion: McGuinty (Hudak-Abortion)

OAKVILLE, Ont. – Premier Dalton McGuinty is urging Opposition Leader Tim Hudak to come clean about his stance on abortion.
In Oakville today, the Liberal premier said voters are looking for clarity on the important issue ahead of the fall election.
McGuinty says he supports a woman’s right to choose and all party leaders owe it to voters to be clear about their position on the issue.
Hudak appears to be shying away from his previous anti-abortion stance, saying he doesn’t plan to re-open the issue if he wins the Oct. 6 vote.
But he has refused to say if he still opposes abortion, walking away from the microphone Monday when reporters asked repeatedly if he still considered himself pro-life.
The media is a special interest group
Politicians and Joe and Jane Frontporch know this already, but it amazes me how often some media bigwigs still don’t. The media, to most of us, are simply big companies owned by other big companies. Like all big companies, they have biases aplenty.
So, when I penned a media column for the National Post, I was told I was not permitted to write anything positive about the CBC or the Toronto Star. If I even quoted someone saying something remotely positive, it would end up on the Post’s newsroom floor.
(At the Sun, in case you are wondering, I have never been, (a) told what to write, or, (b) censored in any way —despite the fact that, as the resident Bolshevik, I periodically drive Brian Lilley, Mark Bonokoski and John Snobelen bonkers. Which upsets me a great deal, as you can imagine).
Ontario Hansard October 1, 1997
Mr. Tim Hudak (Niagara South): I’m pleased to bring forward a petition from about 100 people from the United Brethren in Christ Church in Fort Erie on Garrison Road. It reads as follows:
“Whereas the Ontario Court of Appeal has ruled that women have the lawful right to go topless in public; and
“Whereas the federal government has the power to change the Criminal Code to reinstate such public nudity as an offence;
“We, the undersigned, petition the government of Ontario to continue to urge the government of Canada to enact legislation to ban going topless in public places.”
I have signed my signature to it in agreement.
Fortunately, we can count on Tim Hudak to put an end to this kind of lawless Satanism.
