Ontario repudiates wimps
My friend Alan at GenXat40 writes of the Ontario election,
And, just so I can also be among the first to point it out, between the massive win in Newfoundland yesterday for an anti-Harper Tory and today’s ditching of any vestige of a right wing agenda in Ontario, I see the message this week for the Prime Minister is not good. genx@40
I replied in his comments,
I fear, Alan, that you have managed to reason your way to a rather false conclusion; the very worse thing for Harper would have been a Tory win simply because our man John is all the red tory things Harper abhors. had he won it would have amounted to a repudiation of the sort Conservative party conservatives might support. John Tory was positioning himself to be the weak chinned David Cameron of Canadian politics, certain of nothing but his commitment to multi-cult lunacy and emission reduction.
He has now lost decisively to a miserable little man which strongly suggests that the conservative base was not drinking his watery Kool Aid. Which is grand news for Harper as it allows him to serve up the hard stuff.
Newfoundland does not matter…never has, never will.
Wimps who suck up to assorted urban minorities, fudge their positions and generally try to pretend that the are Liberals in a hurry do themselves, the conservative interest and their province/country no favours. Harper is smart enough to realize this.

Harper is also able to count. How much work does he have to do to replace lost Atlantic Canadian seats? Adding another 10% to the popular vote in Alberta gets him zippo. He is just a mouse fighting in the era of ants.
