Quick Thought: Dalton McGuinty’s Hands
Maybe it’s just me, but based on his performance last night, Dalton McGuinty is the first politician I’ve seen in a long time who seems more excited about the prospects of what he could do for the province if he’s elected than he is about the prospect of actually being elected.
I’m not suggesting that he was particularly good in the debate, though I think he handled most of the attacks sent his way pretty well… just that he was animated. Passionate about his policies. That he gives a damn about what happens to this province after October 6th.
The opposition had ample ammunition to go after him – and they did – but what they didn’t do is define a coherent vision for the kind of Ontario they want to build. Agree with them or not, McGuinty made his ideas clear: Aggressively pursue foreign investment and double down on green manufacturing.
Where were the similarly ambitious policies from the opposition?
