It was a good day. It was! We were letting the NDP and the PCs have it, from start to finish, with all sorts of stuff.

At the end of it, we felt good. We may not get any ink, but we knew we had landed a few blows. We did our job.

And then, tired and at home, a very sad ending to the good day: political fighter Jamie Deacey had died.

We had been political adversaries, years ago, belonging to different tribes within the Liberal Party. Then, we were brought together by our wise mutual friend Don Guy, to work for Dalton McGuinty’s Ontario Liberals.

I came away impressed by Jamie’s mind, and his civility, and his candour. He told me he had judged me wrongly. I told him I had done the same.

The last time I saw him was a few weeks ago, at a political meeting where I was flailing about, unsure why I had been invited. Jamie was the guy who later thanked me for coming, and offered encouragement.

I am very sad about his passing. It had been a great day, and I know he would have enjoyed hearing about how we did. I am sorry we did not get to tell him.

My sincere condolences to his family and many friends.

Something very, very bad is about to happen to Timmy Hudak’s PCs. Oh my.

This upsets me a great deal, as you can well imagine.

It’s the official Twitter source for facts and rapid responses to fight PC and NDP smears!

Remember that ridiculous ‘Taxman’ ad with Tim Hudak in it?

Well, Tim Hudak isn’t in it, anymore. I wonder why?

How Does Tim Hudak spell “amateur”?

While test scores for Ontario students continue to rise, it’s clear there are some who are still having some trouble learning to spell.

Like Tim Hudak and his team who learned at the knee of Mike Harris.

They misspelled Dalton.

They misspelled bureaucracy.

They even misspelled education!

When they can’t spell education, bureaucracy, and the name of their main opponent, it’s time to hold them back for four years, no?

Tim Hudak held an event at a K-W bingo hall to kick off his Ontario PC election campaign. He barred all but supporters from the place, and media.

CHCH-TV came.

What did they ultimately broadcast? You got it. Vladimir Putin, riding on a motorcycle to kick off the Russian election campaign. No Tim.

So, we get letters.  Here’s one, from a nice fellow:

So, who is this Hudak/Harper fan, said I. So I Google him.

“I wish we could have a day where you could go around with a whip and whip lefties that will make em think before opening their mouths.” Nice.

Tim Hudak gets all the best supporters.

Just as an election campaign is about to get underway, this wee web site gets taken down by a DOS attack for a few hours. Must be a huge coincidence, even if it does happen in every election, these days.

In other news, Tim Hudak is 15 years old.

That’s a quote – in a headline, no less.  And it’s from a smaller-town Ontario paper, in a region the PCs insist they “own.”

Interesting.

“A Conservative government in Ontario could mean additional costs for municipalities, a Hastings County official says.

A statement made by Ontario PC leader Tim Hudak during the annual AMO (Association of Municipalities of Ontario) conference last week prompted county councillors to ask for a report on how its finances would be impacted if the province’s ongoing services upload was to stop.”
