Anon, Frank i...Owen - You're right, Fr Ian Rocks. <br /><br />Anon, Frank is not a Red tory, he just refuses to be labelled. I'll admit that those lines sound wishy washy but he's run on conservative platforms before and the policy development process will bring good 'blue' policies forward.Patrick O'Neilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10007432375302731126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19545146.post-13113443572993818642009-04-30T14:55:00.000-04:002009-04-30T14:55:00.000-04:00Christine is not the only "red tory" in the race. ...Christine is not the only "red tory" in the race.

Although Klees won't say the words, he hints that's how he might be described.<br /><br />"I'm a Progressive Conservative and that's what I've been since I became a member of this party," Klees said yesterday over a coffee at the Tim Hortons on Division Street.<br /><br />Klees said a progressive conservative believes in being fiscally responsible and socially responsible.<br /><br />Klees said the provincial Tories have lost their identity as being progressive. He said changes to the party's identity have confused Ontarians over the years and eroded support."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19545146.post-12873836914778598022009-04-30T13:54:00.000-04:002009-04-30T13:54:00.000-04:00Off topic but....Fergus.
