Despite their obvious limitations, Steven Del Duca and Andrea Horwath apparently believe that they are imbued with magical powers. How else to explain their…
One would be hard-pressed to find two more ordinary politicians than Steven Del Duca and Andrea Horwath. Liberal leader Del Duca, a mid-level cabinet minister in the Kathleen Wynne government, couldn’t even hold onto his own seat in the 2018 election. Horwath has already lost three elections as NDP leader and is well on the way to her fourth.
The PCs have the same optimistic housing goal, but at least get partial points for a determined effort to increase housing-sector capacity by training more people in the trades and changing rules so that it’s easier for foreign-trained tradespeople to get jobs in Ontario. Both Del Duca and Horwath have pledged to eliminate private sector ownership from the long-term care sector. That would cost billions of dollars and not add a single bed. Worse, Del Duca would then shut down the care homes the public had just acquired, at great cost, and replace them with a swathe of smaller homes that would care for only a few people each.Article content
Del Duca and Horwath missed a good opportunity in the attack on poverty, especially in regard to the disabled. Both would increase disability support by 20 per cent, but a single person receives only $1,169 a month now. The NDP and Liberal plans would still leave them in deep poverty.Article content
