Crombie:

"I'm very fiscally responsible, but I'm very socially progressive."

This is the opposite emphasis of what I want in political leadership.

Lasting social progress depends on reforming the political system to remove domination by wealthy interests.

As soon as wealth needs a distraction from the lack of economic progress, it's rug-pull time for social progress like human rights, healthcare, housing, etc.

in Ontario politics, the domination by wealth is in the form of privatizing provincial assets, cuts to education, health, increasing police budgets, and handing land speculators everything they want.

Queen's Park and every municipal council is stacked with members that funded their campaigns with land speculator money. Almost zero practical housing out of it, but every city is ringed with fresh developments full of 6 bedroom homes on 1 acre lots.
