After Two Weeks, Premier Ford’s Influence Felt Beyond Ontario
Canada Free Press ^ | 07/15/18 | Arthur Weinreb

Ford was elected to save Ontario from economic and cultural disaster. If the last two weeks have shown anything, the premier may very well save the entire country

On June 29, Douglas Robert Ford Jr. was sworn in as Ontario’s 26th premier. After 15 years of disastrous Liberal Party rule, Ford won a majority government based upon his promises to undo many of the terrible policies that saw the once mighty economic engine of Canada become a have-not province and an economic train wreck that saw many Ontarians forced to choose between heating and eating.

As people are these days, many voters were skeptical Ford would actually deliver on the promises he made during the election campaign. And so far the new premier has not disappointed. Ford and the PC Party have moved quickly to implement the new government’s agenda. So far the government has scrapped the controversial sex-ed curriculum and gotten rid of Hydro One’s “six million dollar man” and the company’s board of directors. In true Kathleen Wynne fashion, beleaguered Ontario taxpayers paid Mayo Schmidt, the CEO of Hydro One over six million dollars a year. This compares to the salary of the head of Hydro Quebec of $400,000 + per year. While saving on the exorbitant salary of the utility’s CEO was only symbolic it was a good omen of things to come.

You’re not far off. Ontario wants to be the California of Canada, political-wise. It hasn’t been long since the elected an outright socialist premier who proceeded to wreck the provincial economy. A conservative there is like a liberal here.
