August 2, 2011: Stephen Harper calls for a “hat trick” – for Conservatives to run the country, the GTA and Ontario. Almost every day since: Conservative operatives scramble to suppress any record of Harper’s statement.

Past behaviour is the truest indicator of future behaviour.  Also, this is one of the best Ontario campaign 2011 Internet vids yet, IMHO.

…and, quite literally, she votes with him.  183 times.

Which brings me, in typically circuitous and long-winded fashion, to my point: In 2011, with elections aplenty — federally, provincially — sometimes political parties are best judged by who their media “enemies” are, and not their media “friends.”

Um, no.

He just had a little stunt at Queen’s Park.  Few noticed, no one cared.

What still interests me, however, is how BB can reverse himself on virtually any issue – even the ones he claims are closest to his heart.

During the mayoralty, he claimed to be incensed by the intolerant statements of Rob Ford.  Now, when Tim Hudak is the one doling out the xenophobia, he’s a-okay with that.

To wit, this:

The story leaves you with a creepy-crawly feeling about Tea Party Tim – particularly the revelation that he and his brain trust (oxymoron alert! – ed.) were on the lookout for some pretext to go anti-immigrant months before the Ontario Liberal platform launch.

But the best part, hands down, is the cover. Ouch.

Amazing.  When icons like this man turn their back on Andrea Horwath’s disappointing Dippers, it’s time to go back to the drawing board, I think.

…and that’s just the nice stuff he says!

Where is Hudak campaign going?

As we pass the one week mark of the provincial election, I’m taking a moment to say I’m sorry to be proven right (so far). Tim Hudak’s Liberal-Lite campaign has resulted in the Liberals erasing a
10-point PC lead in the last month.

Why? Because Hudak has given Ontarians no reason whatsoever to vote Progressive Conservative rather than Liberal.

Locally, the PCs have a strong candidate in Todd Smith, although he is up against Leona Dombrowsky, a skilled campaigner and someone who has a strong base in Belleville.

But he is being wasted as the PC deep thinkers allow themselves to be distracted by the insignificant story of the week. Add to that the “foreign workers” idiocy of week one, and the question has to be asked — who’s running this circus?

This is still a winnable election, and as the old saw goes, “There’s only one poll that counts”.

But for Oct. 6 to be a good day for the PCs, and for the province as a whole, there has to be a change in how the Hudak campaign is run.

“A horse. A horse, my kingdom for a horse…”

The weak, flea-bitten glue piles that Hudak has tried to ride to victory thus far now need to be put down for good…Tim Hudak and his great minds in Toronto need to get ahead of the game…
