Not a Bad Start …<\/strong><\/p>\n

Ontario\u2019s new government was sworn in this past Friday. Some people cheered while others did not. On Saturday, I read two opinion pieces about the ceremony at Queen\u2019s Park. Both were written by people who were not Conservatives and were not supporters of Doug Ford. The articles could not have been more different from each other. It is hard to believe that they were both at the same event.<\/p>\n

The first was a column in the Toronto Star written by Martin Regg Cohn. There was no way he was going to let Doug Ford have his hour in the sun. He dumped all over him. He called Ford\u2019s inaugural speech to about 2000 people on the Grounds of Queens Park, \u201cshameless self-promotion.\u201d He said Ford offered conflicting messages. He criticized him for having only one visible minority in his Cabinet and for having only two Cabinet Ministers from the GTA. He accused Ford of falling in love with his own honeymoon and his own hyperbole. He defended the Liberals and of course, he cried crocodile tears because Ford did not hold the \u201ctraditional\u201d news conference where a premier takes questions from the media including from naysayers like Martin Regg Cohn. I did not see a single positive note in his entire article. It was the most ungracious piece of journalism about a government that had barely been sworn into office, that I have ever encountered.<\/p>\n

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

Contrast this with a commentary written by former Ontario Premier and former Federal Liberal Leader Bob Rae. I am not sure where he wrote it, but I retrieved it from TV Ontario.<\/p>\n

When asked by TVO\u2019s Steve Paikin why he was at the swearing-in ceremony Rae replied, \u201cI came because I was invited.\u201d He noted that there were many fine people in the PC Party of Ontario and that many had become good friends. He said he wanted to be at the ceremony to wish them well. It is also an important tradition to invite all former Premiers to be present for the peaceful transfer of power.<\/p>\n

In commenting on Ford\u2019s speech, Rae said it was, \u201cin keeping with modern politics, more a celebratory incantation to his supporters, but it did make a point of using the language of inclusion and the need to reach out to those who had not voted for him.\u201d He went on to say the character and competence of the Premier and his Ministers will be tested by challenges and events that they can scarcely contemplate today. As well, he was, as he should have been, gently critical of some parts of Ford\u2019s address, but at all times, he remained gracious.<\/p>\n

I for one, subscribe far more to the viewpoint and tenor expressed by Bob Rae than I do to that of Martin Regg Cohn, whose lack of civility and mean spirit, in my view, demeans the importance and the tradition of a peaceful transfer of power. For better or for worse, Doug Ford is the Premier of Ontario. Only time will tell if he will succeed. He has earned the right to try. We should respect that.<\/p>\n

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

For me, the jury is still out on Doug Ford, but I must admit that what I have seen so far, appears to be promising. Yes, there was that uncomfortable Trump-like moment, when he declared in his inaugural speech that his is the very first \u201cGovernment for the People.\u201d Not true of course, but at least to date, we have not seen too much of that.<\/p>\n

What we have seen however, is one of the strongest Cabinets that has sat on the Government\u2019s front bench in the Ontario Legislature for many years. People like Christine Elliott, Caroline Mulroney, Rob Phillips, Peter Bethlenfalvy, Vic Fedeli and Lisa MacLeod, all of whom bring exceptional experience and competence to the table. As well, our own MPP, Norm Miller will be Parliamentary Assistant to the Minister of Intergovernmental Affairs, who happens to be the Premier. Miller\u2019s appointment will have more significance than it would usually have because of the significant challenges Ontario faces in relation to the Trade War with the United States.<\/p>\n

Furthermore, in terms of promises kept, so far so good. It is early days yet, but already strong signals have been sent. As promised, Ford has a significantly smaller Cabinet and also as promised, one of them is a farmer! He has put a halt to hiring new public employees except for essential services, he has temporarily frozen the salaries of the Public Service management and he has told them all that there are no more free lunches on the taxpayer\u2019s dime. As well, Christine Elliott, as Minister of Health, has announced that children who are covered for prescriptions through their parent\u2019s medical plans, (as are many who have private sector benefit plans or belong to a Union), will not have them paid by the taxpayer. It was a costly duplication. And finally, Doug Ford has said he will put partisanship aside and stand shoulder to shoulder with Prime Minister Trudeau when it comes to NAFTA and the Trade wars.<\/p>\n

All in all, not too bad a start in my view.<\/p>\n
