Chris Czeley: Hi, I am Chris Czeley, National Post Columnist. I’m here with a national post contributor Anthony Furi. This is the morning after the debate of Ontario leaders. Well, there was another. Northern issues were debate, but last night aimed at the entire province. I thought it was an interesting exchange in many ways, but also a messy exchange. The little intelligence about this is that I am engaged in the shoes of someone who has not focused on this campaign, and I think this is a certain extent for all the discussions, but I have seen the need to move the needle. Anthony, did you stand alone for you?

Anthony Fure: Because of the low interest in this whole election, I thought people saw it because I was a little surprised. But when I saw some of the direct feed, it said that 25,000 people in the CBAC saw it in the CBAC clip. I thought, oh it is a lot, because if you add a few more, I like to see the debate that I go, I go and there should be no interest in it. I agree with you that this type of nurses in the number of nurses and the number of nurses in this number is the right way to stumble with you, and this number has been going on for many years, and people are going to the environment for many years, because I think it will become a wash for that reason Ford at the end seemed to be the standard hand of the plow in the entire process.

Cele: The interesting thing is that when he was so often, in such matters, ie, the status of Ontario schools, you mentioned in the previous video or health care or law and order. People were saying, you know: “You are the first of the seven years. You know, where are the results? I thought he would come back with this argument, “Well, if the economy is not strong, you are going to destroy the economy,” can you imagine that this kind, that is, someone else is the first? That is, what a bad idea. I thought this was an interesting pitch because he called this election, and to imagine that the whole idea was the first one.

Furerey: He is now thinking about himself, because he is now thinking about himself, and the party is now treating themselves like a natural ruling party, which is usually the case with liberals in the elections, when the Prime Minister, the idea, can you imagine the creation of these PCs when Dalton McKindi was in Ontario, Ontario, Dalton McKindi? He flipped it on its side. To go back to the tooth he did, I can’t do this without the economy, he focuses on his strength, and I think most people will quietly agree with him. They, yes, it’s a good thing. We need jobs and opportunities and a strong tax site, and this is the guy who focuses on all of this. So, okay, the point for the Duck Ford. So it is good for him to go back to it because it is a kind of primary difference between him and other candidates.

Cele: I think, yes, I think you are right. The only thing I was surprised – this is dangerous and you know, if parents think that their schools are falling. There was a moment he said, “Well, no one has invested much in schools than we have.” Surprise to me, it is always dangerous to tell people that people should not trust their lie eyes, do you know? Not what he was doing, but he was saying some sort, and you know: “Law and order is a mess. Oh, but we spent a Cassillian dollars. “Oh, okay, your project has to spend more, so you have to know more about this project, I think. But it is not a debate, apparently.

Furerey: He pointed out that when he came to other problems that he was able to be a distinct, he was focusing on reducing taxes and lowering taxes. I know that Bonnie Chrombi replied and said, “Take a moment – I only promise to reduce the line.” But Duck Ford has said many times, don’t forget the main difference between me and everyone else, and they believe that this is the money they can spend. However they wish, I hope this is your money. That’s my kind exaggerated philosophy. It makes us difference. Again, I think he did a good job there, because people go, okay, yes, a fair point. I think it is meaningful.

Cele: Yes, I think that this time distinguish himself from Bonnie Chrombi, I think the work of Marit Style – Viewing Polls, not vice versa. But you know, the only real difference I have heard from styles is that against Chrombi, the tax cut is. But at the same time, the styles were saying, “I’m going to give you a grocery discount.” So this is still, you know, this is still money, or it is still forecasting the income of the government. Remembering that I was thinking: I did not see any liberals going back to the NTP side, while Bonnie Krombi made an open appeal to the NTP voters to return to the liberals.

Furerey: Yes, we are not sure that Marit is a kind of NTP-E to trigger that site. It is as if they all agree that Duck Ford is very leading in the referendum, they want to look like Duck Ford-Lite: “Oh, I am NTP, so if you are unhappy I am a little less like him. “I don’t know that this is a successful proposal for someone who wants to be a different choice.

Cele: Yes, it is not known to fly from the handle and make crazy choices. In the past they have done it one or twice, but this is not a normal thing. In any case, we have time to end. Thank you to everyone who joined us, a good day.
