My favorite comment from the Draft Tim Hudak for leader of the Ontario PC Party Facebook page.I hope Tim decides to run on it.

Actually, you'd be surprised how many conservative voters in Ontario would love to see a common sense revival.
You'd be surprised how few others would be up for that.
...you'd be surprised how many conservative voters in Ontario would love to see a common sense revival. ...
...only if the number ended up being higher than fifteen.
I would love to see Hudak or one of his nose-boned colleagues try to run on a "fiscal discipline" theme while watching Flaherty and his other federal cousins use tax dollars for asswipe.
Joanne, it can't be a revival when it never happened in the first place.
Harris was a liar, plain and simple. The man should be in prison for what he did to the province - and Flaherty along with him.
Hey, at least this time Flaherty admits to running a deficit instead of just lying about it like the last time.
