As a Progressive Conservative, I am glad that my fellow party members have decided to keep John Tory as our leader. Yes, he lost the 2007 election to McGuinty’s Liberals and yes, he brought the faith-based school issue to the campaign, but we have to remember this: not everyone wins an election the first time.
Mike Harris didn’t. Stephen Harper didn’t. Jean Charest didn’t. Gordon Campbell didn’t. Bob Rae didn’t. Even Dalton McGuinty didn’t win an election the first time.
I realize that there are many of my fellow party members who are still against John Tory’s leadership, but the subject needs to be dropped, and the entire party needs to move on.
We need to present a united front in order to win in 2011 or else a divided party equals a third Liberal victory.
and we all know that is something we all don’t want.
