Kathleen Wynne Should Bring Bill 55 Into The Light

FWIW, I've read the relevant sections of Bill 55, the Strong Action for Ontario Act, and I don't see anything in it near as egregious as what the federal Tories did with their the Navigable Waters Protection Act.  Certainly, it does not seem to be a nefarious scheme to hand the province over to wind-farm developers, as a few of the more paranoid have suggested.  But its hard for someone like me to understand the real-world consequences of the bill's legalese.  That's why a good public bashing out between expert and counter-expert would be a useful exercise, and why burying what are possibly substantive changes to the province's environmental laws in a big omnibus bill, as the Ontario government has done, is a bad idea.  That is all.

And you do want another example of something left in a paper bag by McGuinty to blow up in Wynn's doorstep?

Apparently, this policy was NOT written by Tim Hudak and the Fraser Institute: http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/national/cash-strapped-ontario-preparing-to-privatize-its-lotteries/article9017031/

Wynn really needs to call an election, to assert her leadership, and bring in her budget and her policies if she wins. If she doesn't, she's accountable for these awful things.

Or Wynne could assert her leadership by changing these things and the running.

If she runs right now, with having done practically nothing, she would be running on McGuinty's record.
