Tory not tough enough either

Letters to the Editor

John Tory has indeed said that the rule of law must be restored, but talk is cheap. "Concerned about the optics" of looking like another Mike Harris, Tory has followed McGuinty's lead by stating that elected officials lack authority to instruct the police to enforce the law at Caledonia. Tory's only recommendation has been for the Premier to talk with those involved in the dispute about how the rule of law might be restored. This is not a "hard line" on the rule of law. To implicitly recommend "land for peace" is a cowardly cop-out and an appeasement of aggressors. It is not "leadership."
