i don't know why the liberals took such a foolish position on this issue.

this was the wildcard conservative position i was worried about...and only ford was likely to have seriously taken it....

if the conservatives seriously run on this - and are the only party running on it - then they will probably win a majority.

on this particular issue, the wynne government has prioritized the narrow interests of the conservative minority over the interests of the majority. as far as i can tell, it's a consequence of the inner party being out of touch with the concerns of real voters. but, this is entirely self-inflicted - they could have legislated open access. they decided not to.

let's hope that the ndp doesn't let them bogart this. but, i suspect they're going to be just as clueless, and just as concerned about appealing to middle-of-the-road conservative voters.

ontario leans left 3:1, and has for forty years.
