There was a comment on Twitter this morning that made me think. It stated that as long people blame Trudeau for everything, corrupt and incompetent premiers like Doug Ford have a free ride.

And perhaps this is where the key to success is for the Ontario opposition parties. Start making the case that provincial premiers have a serious responsibility. Start with explaining to people that it matters who is premier. Demonstrate that not everything is federal. And start attacking Poilievre for barking up the wrong tree. Pick a fight with Pierre on this topic, it will get more attention than a press conference in Queens Park.

Is Marit Stiles’ leadership the issue? Or is her leadership just another symptom of something else that you mentioned - the NDP is a coalition of economic progressives who, in the west, actually govern with some regularity, and social progressives with apparently little interest in economics and therefore governing?

It feels sometimes as if the Ontario NDP need to pass their governance to the Manitoba or even BC NDP, just so they can have someone teach them that winning and governing are better than good showings and moral victories.
