Impressions of the Ontario Liberal Party AGM

Parties get tired. The OLP isn't.

I was, candidly, a little concerned that exhaustion would have set in -- but there remains an interest and excitement -- the Party isn't tired.

Now AGMs tend to have a hothouse atmosphere -- true believers attend -- but the focussed policy discussion, in and out of session, showed a surprising strength of vision. There is a willingness, almost an eagerness, to get into the election.

There are glitches.

One of the buttons that links today's Conservatives with the Mike Harris Conservatives is confusing -- the point is well taken but the delivery lacking.

But there's a year to fix the buttons.

And a year and more to canvass!
