Tory Grip On Moral Superiority Is Slipping

Conservatives at all levels of government are floundering badly for lack of good ideas and good leadership

These are dismal, depressing times for Conservatives, particularly in our part of the province. The only really successful Conservative prime minister in recent memory has disgraced himself. The current Conservative prime minister acts like a schoolboy, unable to resist calling his main opponent names. The provincial Progressive Conservative party is having a leadership contest, but Eastern Ontario's contribution is MPP Randy Hillier, who is single-handedly driving the party to the political fringes. At the municipal level, small-c conservative Mayor Larry O'Brien is in court facing influence peddling charges. His accuser is the small-c conservative candidate from the previous mayoral election, a man revealed in court to be an embarrassingly inept politician.
