Hugh Mackenzie
Huntsville Doppler<\/p><\/div>\n

I have been a political junkie for most of my life. Ever since, at the age of 13, when I stepped off a bus I had mistakenly taken and wandered into a campaign headquarters in Toronto, just before a Federal election, I have been hooked. Since then, I have been involved in countless political campaigns at all three levels of government and believe it or not, for more than one political party! I have worked in the back rooms and I have held elected office. I really thought I had seen it all.<\/p>\n

Nothing, however, compares with the political drama we have experienced recently, thanks to the Progressive Conservative Party of Ontario. In just a few weeks, and only a few months before a general election, they have surgically removed their leader, narrowly avoided a coup from elected caucus members, and staged a leadership race with a stunning and unexpected result.<\/p>\n

People will have various opinions about how Doug Ford became leader of the Conservative Party. Some believe it is a clear sign that populism has crept across the border from the United States into Canada. They may be right, at least in part.<\/p>\n

<\/broadstreet-zone><\/strong><\/div>\n

My own view is that the Party establishment blew it. When Caroline Mulroney became a candidate, you can bet your mortgage that every political chit, every I.O.U. every plea for loyalty was called in. She was a hat trick as far as the Tory establishment was concerned. She represented a new generation, she is a middle of the road Conservative whose father was once Prime Minister of Canada and she is smart. She continued the dynasty. And so, votes were called in and you risked being seen as disloyal if you did not respond accordingly. Even our MPP Norm Miller was caught up in it. Having twice supported Christine Elliott, he switched to Caroline Mulroney.<\/p>\n

This, in my view, is what did it. Caroline Mulroney did not have enough votes to win. Her support did not spring from the grass roots of the Party. That became apparent early in the leadership race. But the die was cast. Mulroney\u2019s establishment support sucked too much oxygen out of Christine Elliott\u2019s campaign with the result that she, too, bit the dust. And so, Doug Ford became the leader of the Ontario Conservatives, a result the Party elite could not have been happy with, especially given Doug Ford\u2019s public statements that these were the very people he was running against.<\/p>\n

It is no secret that I did not support Doug Ford in the Tory leadership race. Nothing has happened since to change my opinion. The fact is, however, that he is now the leader of the Ontario Conservatives. Although I know only too well that anything can change during an election campaign, current polling shows that Doug Ford will likely form a majority government in Ontario this June. And in that, I believe, there is a silver lining for the people of Muskoka.<\/p>\n

<\/broadstreet-zone><\/strong><\/div>\n

Most of the candidates in the Tory leadership race expressed support for two acute care hospitals in Muskoka. One would expect that. Promises are easy to make when you are in campaign mode. Doug Ford made his commitment at a campaign stop in Huntsville. He expressed support for two acute care hospitals and said he would listen carefully to what people here wanted. Now the difference between what Doug Ford promises in relation to the hospitals and what other candidates have said is twofold. First, he won, they did not. Second and very importantly, Doug Ford lives here. He has a cottage in Port Sydney. We know where he lives, and we know what he has promised.<\/p>\n

Recently yet another organization related to hospital issues in Muskoka was formed. It is called Community Advocates for Hospitals and Health Care for Muskoka and Area (CAHHMA).<\/em> I don\u2019t know much about them yet, but what makes them worth listening to is that two of their founders are Ross Maund and Dave Wilkin, both former Muskoka hospital board members, both with exceptional experience in the health care field, and both of whom left the Hospital Board in disgust. Here is, in part, what they have said on behalf of their organization to the Task Force set up by the Hospital Board.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou haven\u2019t listened to or respected the Community voice. We want to keep what we currently<\/strong> have – two full-service acute care hospitals.<\/strong> Please stop wasting time on a flawed vision that over 80% of local survey respondents said they didn\u2019t want and move forward with needed upgrades and improvements now, not 15 or more years into the future.”<\/em><\/p>\n

So, let\u2019s look at where we stand now. First, in spite of saying they are open to other options, the Hospital Board still has on its books a recommendation for a single-site hospital in Muskoka. As well, their recent survey did not provide for an option of two fully acute-care hospitals.<\/p>\n

Now let\u2019s look at everyone else. Muskoka\u2019s full-time and seasonal residents have overwhelmingly advocated for two acute-care hospital sites in Muskoka, neither subordinate to the other. Bracebridge and Huntsville councils support the two-site option. Our MPP Norm Miller supports the two-site option as does our Member of Parliament, Tony Clement. And now, we have the man who may well be Premier in a few months saying that he too supports two acute-care hospitals in Muskoka and that he will take his cue from the people.<\/p>\n

This begs the question. Is everybody out of step here except the Hospital Board and its Task Force or is it the other way around? Hopefully, we shall soon find out.<\/p>\n
