I read somewhere that she refused to talk to police unless she was granted amnesty against any criminal carges being laid against her.<br /><br /> I think that in itself tells you something pretty serious happened here.paulsstuffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01813949388254801232noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5761498836067676504.post-54101715311584901282014-05-13T16:44:21.720-07:002014-05-13T16:44:21.720-07:00I don't doubt that Horwath was caught off guar...I don't doubt that Horwath was caught off guard, she probably intended to do her coy consultations with the people act one more time.<br />One reason Wynne did pull the plug may have been to end the gas plant hearings; they had a long list of witnesses ready.<br />As for the campaign, I think 6 weeks is much too long, most of the issues have been talked about for months now.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /> Martinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02442074610206099695noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5761498836067676504.post-70336660674329167312014-05-13T16:11:09.378-07:002014-05-13T16:11:09.378-07:00That's right Sandy.

It prevents the govererning party from having an unfair advantage by already having campaign ads, candidates, transportation among other things ready to go. <br /><br /> It's been reported that the Liberals already had their campaign buses ready to go before Horwath announced she wouldn't support the budget. It's also worth noting the Liberals had that room booked in advance of the day Wynne went to the GG and asked for an election.<br /><br /> The look on Horwath's face everyday makes me believe Wynne stabbed her in the back.paulsstuffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01813949388254801232noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5761498836067676504.post-27805379382857100432014-05-13T15:30:17.382-07:002014-05-13T15:30:17.382-07:00Oops.

I mentioned that the two week advertising blackout has greatly benefitted Hudak and the PCs as they were able to get their message out. <br /><br />Turns out the reason was because the Lt.Gov placed a two week blackout so that the governing party did not benefit unduly. <br /><br />I thought it was because Ontario elections are now only supposed to be four weeks in length.<br /><br />Whatever the reason, it has been good.

According to this result Ontarians over 55 the group most likely to bother voting, have a huge preference for PCs 51% to 24% for Libs and 23% NDP. This is only 1 survey, but it does suggest Tim Hudak moving towards majority territory. What this implies is that now is not the time for sitting on your hands if you support conservative, or even sensible government.<br /><br />Look for Wynne to become ever more hysterical in her attacks if this trend continues. Already we see Liberals forced to respond to actual proposals put forward by Hudak rather than lame attacks on Stephen Harper and Rob Ford. Liberals and their media friends are also desperately seeking a "foreign worker" moment, something to demonize Hudak with. If he continues to campaign as well as this, they will be left with nothing to hang on him.Martinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02442074610206099695noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5761498836067676504.post-73026912583045454792014-05-13T14:05:32.181-07:002014-05-13T14:05:32.181-07:00Great comment Lorne.

When someone can think to themselves that $220 came out of their own wallet it makes more of an impact.paulsstuffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01813949388254801232noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5761498836067676504.post-70603477033808218532014-05-13T12:35:12.291-07:002014-05-13T12:35:12.291-07:00When a politician says $3 billion wasted that real...When a politician says $3 billion wasted that really means nothing to most people as they have no idea how big $1B is. Make it personal. <br /><br />There are about 13 million people in Ontario which means there are about 6 million tax payers. $3B divided by 6 million is $500 per taxpayer. <br /><br />Develop advertisements which get people thinking $500 per taxpayer. If voters do a little counting as they go through their daily lives they will be begin to realize that's a pile of money: 500, 1000, 1500, 2000, ..... it adds up in a hurry. It's a number voters can relate to.<br /><br />That's real taxpayer money that has been thrown away courtesy Wynne/McGuinty.
