390...Tim Hudak And Why He Will Never Be Premier

One simple reason.

He wants to get ride of the Ontario Human Rights Tribunal.

The purpose of The Tribunal is to resolve applications brought under the Ontario Human Rights Code.

The Code is sort of like the seat belt law; if we didn't have the seat belt law, a lot of dumb folks would not wear their belts. The very fact that we have such a law keeps them in their cars in case of accident.

Ditto helmet laws.

What the Code does is keep dumb people [racists and other kinds of ists] from practicing their isms.

Ontario is not nirvana. Even though the law says that, for example, if you have an apartment for rent, you have to give Black people an opportunity to rent said apartment, many landlords don't. Example thereof being my landlady who won't rent to "those people". There are clubs that won't "them" in either. Homophobics and anti semites exist in Ontario too.

The Code helps mitigate the damage these fools can cause.

Mr. Hudak, a Michael Harrisian, doesn't seem to get that.

From a purely retail point of view, electorally speaking, how dya think getting rid of the Tribunal is going to play in the Jewish/Black/Sikh/Gay/Progressive/Etc. communities?

As a Liberal and as a liberal I commend the Tories on their choice for new leader.

Four more years.
