Disagree - Ontario elected Harris to two terms, and he was a strong fiscal conservative.
Ontario will elect fiscal conservatives - they will not elect the baggage that comes along with the Alliance/Reform/Conservative group - guns, abortions, religion, and a reputation for intolerance, both linguistic and ethnic.
Put McKay in as leader, be strong fiscal conservatives and moderate social liberals and they will win the next election.
