Together with Tory has John Tory's appearance on the Don Newman Politics show posted on their website. For some reason no one seems to be interested in watching the clip. (The video was posted five days ago, but only had 14 hits as of this morning.)
We think people should take the time to watch. A few points to consider:
John Tory on second chances - "Most people will get two chances. Mr. Harper did, Mr. Harris in Ontario did. There are many others in Canadian politics who've had a second chance."
John Tory on the campaign - "The campaign wasn't what it should be and I have to accept ultimate accountablity for that, even though I was out on the bus, making speeches and doing what leaders do"
John Tory on Faith based funding policy - "The book is closed as far as we're concerned. It will not be part of our platform as long as I'm the leader"
John Tory's letter to PC Party members - To guarantee an election platform that is consistent with conservative principles, clearly distinct from the Liberals and easily communicated to the public (less is more)...policy development will be informed from the bottom up, instead of the other way around.
John Tory on "the rules" - "I'm abiding by the rules in every respect in this contest and I'll abide by it when it comes to the result and I'll accept those with grace but the rules say 50 per cent plus one."
