	Legislative Assembly of Ontario. Hansard (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
		Ontario's historic strength, its position in negotiation, has not been because we've gone in with a sense of our own agenda, which we were prepared to simply state was widely shared, but because of our capacity to listen and because of our capacity to learn and then to lead.
		On behalf of the taxpayers of the province of Ontario, on behalf of the taxpayers who have a debt of about $100 billion piled on by previous governments, on behalf of the taxpayers who are having to pay about $9 billion a year in interest payments, we are looking at all construction, at all projects.
		Hon Mr Snobelen: I'm pleased that the member opposite has brought forward today and restated for the people of Ontario, first of all, the appreciation we have as a government for the value of the multicultural society we live in and the appreciation we have as a government for the possibility of that multicultural society.

		As described in one brief, leaders were viewed as servants of the people and were expected to uphold the values inherent in the community.
		In other cases, leaders were expected to take on a variety of roles and had to possess a wide range of personal qualities.
		In such societies, support for leaders could be withdrawn by the community as a whole or by those (such as clan mothers) with specific responsibilities in the matter.

	Ontario political leaders silent \| Fair Vote Canada / Représentation équitable au Canada
		As the 103 members of the Ontario Citizens’ Assembly on Electoral Reform ready themselves for their first meeting on September 9-10, the Premier and opposition leaders remain silent on a key element of the reform process.
		The all-party Ontario Select Committee on Electoral Reform recommended that a simple majority decision be used in Ontario, but with the additional requirement of majority support in two-thirds of Ontario’s ridings.
		Murray noted that adding that requirement, because of the significant differences in the number of voters in Ontario ridings, could allow as few as 14 per cent of the voters to stop a reform that is supported by a significant majority (figure based on voter turnout in the last provincial election).

	Idealistic Pragmatist: Hope, possibility, unity, and reality for Canadian progressives
		Ontario is a region within Canada, not a microcosm of it--and while the Liberals may be the dominant choice of progressives there, this is not the case either in Québec or in the growing west.
		I'm actually beginning to come around to the opposite position, i.e., that a coalition government may be a precondition for (federal) electoral reform.
		The only thing I ask is to not be the leader of the project, because whenever I'm project leader, there's lots of growth and dynamism from the team but also lots of conflict, and also because I am master at procrastination and I have rarely ever actually finished a project.

	Socialist Action/Canada
		In the summer of 2000, the Ontario Coalition Against Poverty (OCAP) sought to address the crisis of homelessness in Toronto and the vicious neo liberal policies of the ruling Ontario Conservative Party.
		Three OCAP members, Stefan Pilipa, Gaetan Heroux and myself, were singled out as 'leaders' of the March and faced a Jury trial as alleged organizers of a 'planned riot'.
		The Labour leaders in Ontario shied away from decisive action against the Conservative Government and the resulting undermining of working class rights and living standards was appalling.

	Planet Ark : Ontario rattled by water-testing scare
		Ontario's Conservative government, still reeling from a tainted water scandal two years ago in Walkerton, which left seven people dead and made about 2,000 sick, ordered an immediate review late on Wednesday of test results from London, Ontario-based MDS Laboratory Services.
		Opposition leaders said the government is blaming a private laboratory when it should take responsibility for monitoring the lab's work.
		But community leaders said Ontario's government has not learned its lesson from the Walkerton scandal, where water was contaminated by a deadly strain of E. Coli when a storm washed cow manure into a well, and laboratory and municipal officials failed to warn public health officials.

	New Socialist Group: Rightwing politics grow on campus
		Many months before September 11, 2001, a centrally organized campaign was launched by the Ontario “Progressive” Conservative Party (PC) to take control of student unions and cultivate a new generation of “leaders” to carry forward the conservative agenda.
		Indeed, the most insidious development bolstering backdoor conservative machinations within certain Ontario student unions is the commitment, within the Progressive Conservative Party of Ontario, of infrastructure and resources devoted specifically to providing finances and political consultation to conservative candidates running in elections on a number of key university campuses.
		Former president of the Ontario PC Youth Association, Dave Forestell, stated in a 2002 interview with the Western Gazette that there is no reason to inform student voters of his party’s interference in campus elections: “Candidates make decisions based on what will get them elected.
