BURLINGTON, ON

The three-term Progressive Conservative premier has long triggered Tories who feel he’s drifted too far to the mushy middle of the political spectrum due to his reliance on public-opinion polling.

The Ontario Hospital Coalition wasn’t wrong when they said the provincial government wanted to privatize the  current health care service.

Project Ontario, a group of people who want to see changes in the way the provincial government operates, said recently that they are advocating for an expansion of privately delivered health care and smaller government at Queen’s Park.

The group is just talking at this point.  With Doug Ford’s polling numbers at 52%, it’s going to be an uphill slog to being about any change at the Progressive Conservative Party annual event later this year.
