Still in charge ...

Fallout from Randy Hillier's nomination on the weekend has started already.

"Health Minister George Smitherman, who is also deputy premier, predicted Monday that Conservative Leader John Tory would come to regret his decision to allow Hillier's nomination as a PC candidate."

Even the Lib's are warning him ....

G-string George is still harping on some back-room deal that John Tory supposedly made for Hillier's nomination ... One would have to ask: Why ??? Hillier is a liability, not an asset.

"I think that it was a deal with the devil,'' Smitherman told reporters.

"How else can one explain why Mr. John Tory, this modern remake of the centrist Conservative Party, would have the most divisive candidate nominated by a political party in some time?''

"(Hillier) is a hurt machine. Every time he opens his mouth it's to divide up Ontario and to demonstrate some way in which he's distinct from the rest of us.''

I'm just afraid what might just come out of that yap come late September .... and kill John Tory's chance of winning ...

Tory is still in control !

So glad to hear JT asserting control over the party .. After reading some of the stuff on freedominion you would think he won the leadership Saturday.

"He has said he will support that and be a good team member and follow my lead in terms of how we express our views,'' said Tory.

"I welcome the diversity as a means of making sure we can represent the different points of view across the province, but Mr. Hillier's not going to change me. The only deal we have is he signed on to support my leadership and support the policies of the party, which I enunciate, not him.''
