Russ Campbell’s Blog: Is National Post’s Tasha Kheiriddin Giving Up on Conservatism?
There is a quoÂtaÂtion from AbraÂham LinÂcoln that ends, “… you can never please all of the peoÂple all of the time.” I thought of this when I read Tasha KheiridÂdin’s colÂumn in TuesÂday’s NaÂtional Post op-ed page.
KheiridÂdin self-deÂscribes as “a life-long small-c conÂserÂvÂaÂtive. I [KheiridÂdin] supÂported the ComÂmon Sense RevÂoÂluÂtion of Mike HarÂris. I [KheiridÂdin] beÂlieve in balÂanced budÂgets, low taxes and value for money. I [KheiridÂdin] like the PCs’ plans for endÂing corÂpoÂrate welÂfare and enÂcourÂagÂing job creÂation.”
She then launches into a haÂrangue of why she “can’t vote for Tim HuÂdak” in the June 12 OnÂtario genÂeral elecÂtion. CuÂriÂous that, since HuÂdak is the leader of the only small-c conÂserÂvÂaÂtive party runÂning in that elecÂtion.
