On 17 January, the G&M’s Adam Radwanski reported that “based on conversations with party insiders, it’s an open question whether right-to-work will make it to the Tories’ platform.”<br /><br />Don’t fall for it. Even if they don’t state it as platform or policy, given a majority, they will do it. Don’t be as stupid as this journalist, the “party insiders” and Hudak take you to be. Tim is permanently damaged goods. And his rotten political party should not be worthy of any consideration until at least two generations following a formal renouncement of its juvenile version of market libertarianism. The RTW policy will take us nowhere beyond the requirement to provide government income support programs for the soon-to-be working poor.<br />John B.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7884128379999766348.post-15273158853261583172014-01-18T12:44:35.064-05:002014-01-18T12:44:35.064-05:00Agreed, Owen, as is their claim to have the best i...Agreed, Owen, as is their claim to have the best interests of the Canadian people at heart.Lornehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15741324981120408977noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7884128379999766348.post-47089117242231461732014-01-18T12:32:49.327-05:002014-01-18T12:32:49.327-05:00I am mystified, Lorne, that both Hudak and Harper ...I am mystified, Lorne, that both Hudak and Harper tout their qualifications as economists.<br /><br />Those claims strike me as totally bogus.Owen Grayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06464860078574618579noreply@blogger.com
