As reported in the Hamilton Spectator, it seems that Tim Hudak is still desperately trying to pin something on Dalton McGuinty's Liberals. And he seems to always have trouble because these positions put him in uncomfortable places.
Case in point, in chasing after McGuinty over the HST implementation, is putting him in the difficult position of having to explain why the business community supports it, but he doesn't. Furthermore, you can hear the crickets chirping everytime he is asked whether or not he would repeal the tax. But that's another story...
The problem with his latest is a real doozy. (chuckles) The reason why the Stoney Creek Dairy plant is closing is because electricity is expensive in Ontario and the province can't afford to give subsidies like Quebec does. And that's mostly because of deregulation and other insidious charges forced upon us. And who was responsible for that debacle? Why that was none other than Michael D. Harris, Timmy's BFF! But I'm sure that like any good Conservative, they probably blamed it on some staffer who won't answer any questions that could be potentially embarassing to the Cons themselves.
Hudak is grasping at straws, looking for any way to gain traction on the Liberals, but just being a party of "no is not enough. The PC's have offered no alternatives up to now and to make matters worse, the NDP has been consistent in what they are for and against and there is no one questioning their sanity. They have been far more principled than the PC and if the Liberals are to be replaced, they are more likely to be replaced by the NDP for that reason.
So now it's official. Hudak is a loose cannon, unable to control his minions, let alone himself. And it's starting to look as if the PC Party of Ontario chose their leader poorly this time around. It will probably be their next leader who will be premier, but not this clown.
