Ontario: Where Bad Liberals Go to Die

I could not resist.

If there is a bright spot to Doug Ford's betrayal of Tanya Granic Allan, it is that he is getting right on dismantling Kathleen Wynne's legacy of waste and corruption:

Ontario’s incoming premier is meeting with his transition team as the Progressive Conservatives prepare to return to power in the province for the first time in 15 years.

A spokesman for premier-designate Doug Ford says he is taking part in briefings Monday on how to implement his plan for the province.

The Tories won a majority government in last week’s election and Ford has said he expects the transition to power to take three weeks.

The 76 Progressive Conservatives elected to the legislature will meet on June 19 for their first caucus meeting.

The province’s outgoing Liberal premier, Kathleen Wynne, will officially hand over the reins to Ford on June 29.

The Liberals have also begun the process of searching for someone to succeed Wynne on an interim basis after she stepped down as party leader on election night. She is, however, staying on as a legislator.

A spokesman for Doug Ford says Ontario's incoming premier is determined to deliver on his campaign promise to scrap the "disastrous" cap-and-trade system and fight a federal carbon tax.

Ford's pledge is causing concern in Quebec, a province that introduced a cap-and-trade system in 2013 and shares a carbon market with Ontario and California.

No, Liberals don't learn from their mistakes because they don't believe that they've made any:

The first campaign lesson is that there is a desire by voters for plain language. Plain communication by Ford won him the leadership and won him the election.

The endless conversation of nonsense language from our governing Liberals will not win the next election. Gender neutral pronoun nonsense from Justin Trudeau will not win votes.

Wynne sounded like a deputy minister in the debates and during the campaign.

Contrasted with Ford’s simple communication, voters had an easy choice.

Yes, a 10-cent tax cut on gas is a simple bumper sticker slogan. It is also easy to understand and was a timely and strategic decision regardless of the cost.

Ford spoke “English” while Wynne spoke “Government.” Voters understand the first and doze off at the latter.

By "government", I am sure the columnist meant "lies", but whatever.
