Tim Hudak: Affirmative Action Program

Conservative Prime Minister Dept: Stability trumps change: That s the first message from the Ontario vote. The second: Don t mess with immigrants, according to Globe and Mail. In a province that has, more successfully than anywhere else on earth, accommodated millions of new arrivals from Asia and elsewhere in recent years, such language was incendiary and people who believe that there is some kind of ideological war underway in Canada should look at the data. Some of the same voters who sent Mr. McGuinty back to Queen s Park Thursday night sent Conservative Prime Minister Stephen Harper back to Parliament Hill last May and, in Manitoba, gave the NDP a fourth mandate Tuesday. Tim Hudak s bid to return the Progressive Conservatives to power in Ontario may have failed on the first day of the campaign. That s when the rookie leader latched on to a proposed Liberal policy that would help find jobs for new Canadians seeking professional accreditation and called it an affirmative action program to hire foreign workers.
