Today, the Ontario PC party launched a series of radio ads reminding Ontarians of the economic record of the liberals while, premier designate Kathleen Wynne  was at the cabinet table with Dalton McGuinty.

Here is one of the ads

Tim Hudak

Earlier this week Tim Hudak leader of the Ontario PC party penned an open letter to outgoing Premier Dalton McGuinty . He detailed many of his grievances against the prorogation and urges McGuinty to recall the legislature.

Some of the letter is below

The consequence of your decision to prorogue means that we are unable to take the meaningful action required to rein in government spending and enact policies to kick-start private sector job creation. Before you prorogued, the Ontario PC Caucus had put forward a number of bold ideas designed to undo many of the harmful decisions your government has made to restrain economic growth. Our proposals to rebuild Ontario’s economy included legislation to help small business owners cut through red tape, strengthen transparency in government, and reform the broken arbitration system – with our Ability to Pay Act. In effect, proroguing means you have put the government on autopilot, leaving your reckless spending to continue, unchecked, and the debt to…

….Failure to order the Legislature back now means you are making the job we will need to do when it returns even more difficult and perhaps insurmountable. Your plan to wait until the weekend of January 25-27 of next year for a new Liberal leader to hand off these important decisions to means any practical action will be delayed until at least well into 2013.

Premier, when we are confronted with tough times, leaders are required to rise to the challenge, not turn out the lights and go home.

I stand ready to do my part. Ontarians are counting on you to do yours.

Yours truly,

Tim Hudak, MPP
Leader of the Official Opposition and of the
Progressive Conservative Party of Ontario

I’m back from an extended hiatus.  With all that is percolating in provincial and federal politics; as well as, the contest for the White House entering the home stretch in the United States, I thought it was a good time to return to the blogosphere.

Pushing the pause button recharges the batteries and helped me  regain some perspective.  I am using this post as a jumping off point, to redefine the themes of this web site.   It will cover Ontario politics, a dash federal politics along with some stateside current affairs from a Canadians point of view.

From Website

NDP Leader Thomas Mulcair recently announced his new shadow cabinet.

Mr. Mulcair has chosen a team that threatens dangerous economic experiments, job-killing taxes, and reckless spending we simply cannot afford. This team has demonstrated a disturbing willingness to put the interests of a narrow band of activists ahead of the interests of hard-working Canadian families.

Mr. Mulcair’s NDP have blocked reasonable measures to put the rights of victims first, fighting to defend a criminal justice system that privileges the rights of criminals at the public’s expense. They have gone to great lengths to prevent responsible development of Canada’s natural resources, going so far as to travel abroad to criticize their own country.

The excellent thing about this website is that it uses many primary sources to make the case that the NDP team under Mr. Thomas Mulcair would not be worth the economic gamble for the country.
