Hudak really isn't one to speak disparagingly about bosses; after all, every facet of his personal narrative is designed to portray himself as a boss, not a leader.
But then he has demonstrated willingness to work with others when the stakes are high enough, as they have been of late in Toronto. He's also well aware that there is a much bigger threat looming over Ontario's economy, the strength of our institutions and the stability of our society.
Could that be his play? Perhaps Hudak and his team are much more strategically altruistic than we think; that the whole hard-right, tough-on-everything approach could simply be a really a tricky gambit.
Maybe, like Ozymandias, Hudak feels that our fractured society needs a common enemy to rally against and, for the sake of the Public Good, is willing to be that foe. If so, I tip my hat to him.
Meanwhile, as Sid Ryan brings his best Magneto rhetoric forward, I'd encourage him to take a hard look at the whole emerging cognitive labour thing. He doesn't like being mainstream, which is his right - but instead of proselytizing from the margins, he could be leading from the front.
To each his own, right? Or are we moving forward together again?
Time will tell.
