Hudak Wants to Return Ontario Tories To School Wars

He may not win the PC leadership if his opposition were to coalesce behind Christine Elliot MPP but for now Tim Hudak seems like the frontrunner. We can hope he is running to the right to sow up the knuckle dragger element that constitutes the majority in the Tory membership.

Hudak has that frat boy image that Jim Coyle of the Toronto Star hung on him. This is combined with that stupid “I’m all that” smirk that just wants to make you slap that smirk around to the other side of his face.

The public sector dominated by OPSEU and CUPE but including the teachers’ federations and the nurses has noticed that Hudak is campaigning to actually roll back the recent contracts negotiated in the public sector. Of course politicians often think that business contracts are sacred and cannot be changed whereas a labour agreement just doesn’t rise to this level for them.

Hudak, it seems didn’t get enough of the strikes, demonstrations, litigation, negative PR campaigns, early retirements, teacher anger and demoralization, and parent angst and anger directed at both sides quite frankly. He wants school wars 2.0. He is sure out to make Dalton McGuinty look good. Sigh.
