  • Ontario Tories Respond to the Working Families Coalition

    From CTV

    Conservative campaign manager Mark Spiro says the party is launching a complaint about the ads with the Television Bureau of Canada.

    He says the ads — funded by a group that has ties to the Liberal party — violate television advertising guidelines.

    He says the party has also launched a new website — www.truthabouttimhudak.com — to counter allegations made against Hudak in the lead-up to the Oct. 6 election.

    It is Good to see this time the Ontario PC Party is pulling no punches against defamatory statements spread by the Liberal friendly working families coalition.

  • Smart meters = tax grab

    From London Free Press

    Calling smart meters a “tax grab,” Hudak suggested their mandatory status would be a thing of the past if he’s elected premier this fall.

    “These time-of-use, mandatory smart meters are nothing more than another tax grab on the hydro bill,” Hudak said, flanked by veteran Oxford MPP Ernie Hardeman and high-profile London Fanshawe candidate Cheryl Miller.

    “A Progressive Conservative government would unplug the mandatory smart meters and give families a choice that works for them.”

  • Beware the Ides of March

    From ABC
    Roman dictator Julius Caesar may have been warned that deadly harm would befall him no later than March 15.
    But the soothsayer who supposedly delivered the prophetic message couldn’t possibly have foretold what he would inspire, including a “Simpsons” episode called “Homer the Great, an episode of “Xena: Warrior Princess,” and a U.S. rock band from Berwyn, Ill., named the Ides of March.

    Even Oscar-winner George Clooney is in on the act, reportedly finishing up filming of his “Ides of March,” a movie about a presidential campaign in which he acts and directs.

    Indeed, the supposed encounter that William Shakespeare so tragically depicted in his “Julius Caesar” (“Beware the ides of March”) has become the stuff of popular culture.

    Concerning the Clooney movie, oh please not another  anti-American/anti-capitalist diatribe
