Hopefully the Cons don't tear what's left apart in this leadership race. Christine Elliott is a seasoned and intelligent person. If she gets it she will crush Wynne. The Mulroney name will turn people away regardless of Carolynes accomplishments. Not right but that's reality.

The only people that will be turned away will be Liberals. Among most federal Conservatives,Brian Mulroney has regained his stature as a form PM,especially,since the LPOC had to pay him a fortune in defamation damages. In 20/20 hindsight,most people regard his NAFTA deal with Ronald Reagan as a good deal that went sideways after Chretien/Clinton screwed it all up.

I believe totally the Coup to oust Brown was internal. What better way to get rid of the most un-conservative Leader ever. He never did capture the "Conservative" image, his dictator style appointments in riding association flew in the face of Conservative values and pissed off Riding members. Next he was pushing the Conservative movement to the center, to point there was really no difference between NDP/Liberal/Conservative platforms.

Patrick Browns policies have moved the party closer to center. I get it (I am a politician and running this election), he needed to capture voters around the GTA edges and moved the party policies closer to attract those voters. But it came a cost to rural ridings which are big "C" Conservative.

How is best way to recover the party loyalists in rural ridings (in which are PCPO) which has its roots and the bulk of ridings. Stage an internal Coup, Wynne gets the blame, Brown is finished and I will add no matter..he was accused, tried and executed by his own party, with the justification of public opinion as the sword. Justice, presumption of innocence, fair trial and rule of law is gone, because of political expediency. Truly, a sad for Justice and Rule of Law.

One might ask the reason why...why did they dump him so quick. Politics, what better way to refresh the party image (which Brown was admittedly, a wishy washy image in public opinion), but most said...anything but Wynne and would vote him just because of the hatred of Wynne. That presented a difficult overall image and dilemma for the party. Now add into the mix Jack McLaren and Trillium Party, in the last 2 months 3 full riding association has moved lock, stock and barrel over to the Trillium Party which is the sudo Conservative Party, but really is a bunch of angry conservatives, who seen an opportunity to grow the party image with Jack. Politics is opportunity. The party (Trillium) is a threat and ammo for Wynne and will be a thorn in Cons side during the election and will highlighted, to show the division of voting for Cons. Truth is, they are only running 30 candidates, so no threat to power, but might hold the balance of power in a minority situation.

So here we are back to why take out Brown, well the party knew they had image problems and a lot of hold your nose and vote Conservative, conservatives. How do you fix the problem decisively, well you feed the story to media (I suspect the person was from the Cons, and she was first to speak in support of the women). By doing this, you make the downfall succinct, splashy, and show totally a conservative action (even if untrue).

Next, appoint an interim leader and use the Constitution to run a leadership Campaign, (Conservative in nature - Democracy - counter to Browns appointments)

Next, hype the anointed, Mulroney, Vic F (no thanks, I will root out the rot...backed up Lisa MacLeod), Elliot, Ford and any other potential to restore the Conservative image of democracy with the party.

Next, run the leaders election and show the full democratic power of the party, including very respectable debates and giant wow look at us unified conservatives...let’s get after Wynne rah, Rah, event. All of it is staged and managed, to restore the Democratic Process. This will be the first of many signals to show how the party is renewed.

Staging all this in the last part the election cycle will ensure continued media coverage, the narrative will be tightly controlled, the image repair will continue to cleanse the Brown image. They will get free press, media glaring results and keeping the Party message forefront...without spending a dime to do so.

No this is a 100% internal coup to restore the Conservative image as a solid right party.

Now if you read to bottom of this post. You will understand why I left the Party and joined the Ontario Libertarian Party. None of the big three care about you only your vote. That vote and your party actions are designed to keep you loyal. Why, because the big 3 parties require your vote to maintain power, it is not about you, it is about them playing a game to exercise power and control over you and your taxes (which is the reason for the power and control, that power and control is money/budget). As long as people continue to believe this process is in their best interests, they will never be awake and see how you are manipulated to ensure your power is lost after the Election Day, as they will control everything and you are no longer needed.

Ask yourself, what has changed in the system under Con/Lib power sharing in the last 20 years. I asked and looked...nothing has changed, despite all the rhetoric. Harris de-amalgamated, and forced all cost down on property taxes, Wynne has never once lowered your taxes. The closet she came was the people were at the Gates with pitch forks over hydro and they finally capitulated..if she gets back in Hydro rates will go back up.

So my political pitch, vote for the only party that will restore your power and control over the money and you will make the bureaucrats, and politicians powerless. Plus, we will restore the rights of private landowners and remove the powers of the OMB, MPAC and Conservation Authorities to enter into private property unless with your permission or a court order. The building code will not be mandatory for private property owners, but will still apply to developers.

What other party will put recall legislation in place to guarantee the people to hold government accountable...none

What other party will, as first line in budget, put in place a commission like the Gomery Trial to investigate the waste and mismanagement and downright criminal behaviors of this government.

You see, our platform puts you the taxpayer and citizens in charge of the government. Until people can see that, that they can hold the power government in their own hands by controlling the money….. until then nothing will change.
