From Now Magazine: The NDP leader doesn’t want moral victories; she wants a win that is moral. And to wrench working people free from parties that will never serve them. And I think she can do it. The Steeltown Scrapper remains the most popular party leader in Ontario, in part for being least like a pol. Ontarians are sick of being lied to and sick of plug-and-play politicos talking down to them. I’ll take a populist progressive any day who isn’t afraid to challenge the orthodoxies, even among her party’s elites. Are we really ready to say a party that blew over a billion bucks covering its ass while the current premier, Kathleen Wynne, was in cabinet deserves another try? She sounds like Rob Ford, repeating her empty apologies and calling for people to just move on. The Liberals couldn’t find the bucks for transit, but coughed up a quick $1 billion when they needed it to buy votes with our money. Why didn’t she just say no? Horwath is running to beat back the Tories, and she successfully bashed them in recent head-to-head by-elections – despite the fact that in the 2011 elections the NDP ran third in those ridings. So much for strategic voting. nowtoronto/news/story.cfm?content=198333&fb_action_ids=10154268473785193&fb_action_types=og.likes
