The Ontario Liberals are now calling NDP leader Andrea Horwarth "the new Mike Harris"? Are you kidding me? As a longtime supporter of Mike Harris, I am completely comfortable saying that NDP policy in no way shape or form resembles the policies of our beloved Common Sense revolution. To compare her to Mike is absolutely ridiculous. Desperate times sure call for desperate measures. This strategy (or stunt) is nothing more than a cheap attempt to frighten union workers (especially in the public sector) who are deciding between Liberals and the NDP. Many in the right of center still hold Harris in high regard, so these "symbolic accusations" have to be targeted at the left. Only the left has passionate disdain for the former Tory Premier. Clearly McGuinty is worried about left wing vote split and the surge of NDP support in the recent federal election. This is yet another example of McGuinty's Liberals treating Ontario voters like dolts and chumps. It is a ridiculous accusation that insults people's intelligence.
Dalton McGuinty has got to go!
The Ontario Libs are acting panicky but for good reason.
ReplyDeleteThe hardcore issues of any election are the pocketbook issues. They include unemployment, taxes, deficits etc. No Lib or McGuinty "yes man" wants to talk about these bread and butter issues.
They have no choice.
I think that the Liberals are doing Horwath a favour by putting the "Harris" label on her to be honest.
ReplyDeleteWhat Ontario needs now, and what the Liberals fail to grasp is exactly another Mike Harris type deficit fighter and straight shooter.
Why are the Liberals helping the NDP?
The Dalton gang shoots and misses.......
ReplyDeleteha! just libs being libs, no surprise here on insulting peoples intelligence. If it's true it'd be the first time in my life i'd vote NDP.
