There are legitimate issues to raise about the platform -- I think it's a good and sensible platform but reasonable people can legitimately differ.
But the Sun's cover?
Candidly it's such nonsense that whatever it says inside is made meaningless.

Frankly Mr. Morton, were I a new immigrant living in Ontario, I would be very concerned if Mr. Hudak were to become Premier. Fanning the flames of xenophobia makes me scared for immigrant children. As a young child of immigrant parents in the 1950s I remember all too well the hatred that I had to deal with. I thought we had progressed but clearly not in a world as envisioned by Mr. Hudak.
While I only saw the cover of the Sun walking into work this morning... and didn't read the article itself...I can already say I agree with you!
Well I suppose you can always read the Star. The Star after all has always had perfectly balanced coverage of politics.
What should worry Libs is that the stuff McGuinty is bragging about are all a result of a poor economy made worse by a bad government.
The higher education enrollment is in part because there is a lack of good jobs.
Electricity consumption is down not because of an incredibly expensive and ineffective "green" energy act. Consumption is down because indusrties and manufacturers have shut down. If Mcguinty wants to shut down coal fired generators a decade behind his own schedule he'll need to hope the recession continues.
Affirmative action was introduced to Ontario by Bob Rae. It was at the very least disciminatory and at worst outright racist.
I know good people who were denied jobs not because they were not qualified but because they were the wrong skin colour. Harris rightly scrapped the policy.
It is worth noting that even today when Libs talk about how bad Harris was for Ontario they never blame him for scrapping Affirmative action.
McGuinty has opened the door to such nonsense. It should be understood that all Ontarians are equally affected by this recession. It is wrong to exclude most of them from access to jobs.
Anon 2 very impressed that as a Tory staffer you actually can string a few sentences togther. They are factually incorrect but sound nice. Hope you are being paid by the word though.
musco;
I can assure you I am not a paid tory staffer. They are less corrupt than those crooks you support but I wouldn't give them a dime either.
However, do tell me which of my facts are incorrect.
Surely you don't believe the Star is balanced on thie political coverage? No one is that blind.
Enrollment in the Universities is at an all time high across the country. Tough economic times make universities more attractive to young people who cannot find jobs.
It is impossible to prove a negative so I'd ask you to show me data where electricity consumption has risen in Ontario. Keep in mind our population has increased so it should be an easy task.
It is down.
I hope I do not have to remind you that Mcguinty had promised to shut all the coal plants down by 2007. He was forced to change it to 2014. So will this happen?
It can only happen if the recession continues.
I can forgive you if you were not aware of Rae's disastrous affirimitive action strategy. At one point a job posting within the civil service basically said that whites( both women and men) need not apply. Rae defended it for over a week but eventually he caved.
The ball is in your court musco.
All facts none can be disputed.
James, were you as upset at the Toronto Star during the mayoral race? They stated on the FRONT that Rob Ford assaulted a a high school football player while coaching at Newtonbrook S.S.
Problem was it was based on here say. The Star never contacted the player in question. When the player did come forward, and said it was false, the Star buried it.
The Sun's front page is a editorial
opinion on a very divisive policy promise by McGuinty. It pits the unemployed from different backgrounds against one other. Bad public policy.
The Star, on the other hand resorted to front page slander.
