PC leadership debate

Unfortunately if he wins again, we may as well resign ourselves to another 4 years and Winnie the Poop.

Yup, they always seem to find a way to lose it

True ..... but there is a flicker of a light that maybe we can get the Golem clan out of power... and this from the red star.

The Forum Poll surveyed 949 Ontario voters, 49 per cent of whom said they would support the Tories in the next election, a jump of seven percentage points in just a few weeks.

It might take a bit of a "dip" with Brown back in it,but,I can't see him even coming close in the leadership race. It seems many in the party were not overly enamored with his carbon tax agreement among other things. He's seen as a "red" Tory. I doubt it will fly.

Brown is on the bottom rung behind all the others in the latest poll; [ to days news at noon].

[Foxx]

Hopefully he stays on the bottom. With him being around it will do more harm than good for the party.

I agree...

I think Ford is the only one that can get enough of the GTA vote.............. to give the PC's a win and a majority.

With all the media attention on the PCs and very little on the Liberals these days, the PC leadership race seems to have turned into a reality show where the winner gets crowned Premier.

Even on his best days, leading in the polls and raising lots of cash and glad-handing with the best of them, it was never entirely clear why Patrick Brown wanted to be leader of the Progressive Conservative Party of Ontario.

He didn't have a notable interest in the mechanics of the government he was hoping to run after this spring's election, or any real fundamental differences with the province's ruling Liberals. He never seemed to have quite grown out of the youth politician he had been, two decades before: the sort with ambition for ambition's sake, a love of politics as a game with personal advancement the only real objective.

Now, we have confirmation, courtesy of a bizarre week of flame-throwing that culminated in his announcement that he will run again for the job he vacated three weeks ago amid sexual-misconduct allegations: For Patrick Brown, public life is all about Patrick Brown.

I am a Conservative and I truly believe that the old boys club within the PC party is more concerned about their internal struggles than giving Wynne and the Liberals the boot our of Ontario. I think that as long as there is infighting in the PC party the Wynne is sitting back eating popcorn and watching the mud slinging.
