If Mike Schreiner decides to cross the floor, he will be damaging his own reputation as well as that of the Ontario Liberals and Greens
by saying: “I’m going to ask people to give me time to think about their arguments.”
First, Mr. Schreiner has undermined his reputation as Leader of the Ontario Greens and undermined the party as well. No responsible party leader would do such a thing. Mr. Schreiner, as a former Green, would surely push the Grits to the left on social policy and put environmental issues front-and-centre. But there is a strong argument for the Liberals positioning themselves to the right of where they were under former Liberal premier Kathleen Wynne, by placing an increased emphasis on fiscal responsibility.
