Scheer has become the Captain Obvious of Canadian politics. It’s too bad he didn’t set sail last fall after the election and let Conservatives appoint an interim leader. He has been petty, partisan, and personal in his attacks.
Contrast this with Del Duca, who was just elected Ontario Liberal leader less than a month ago. Del Duca has praised Premier Doug Ford and has also made constructive suggestions on how to help people.
He has supported the premier because it’s the right thing to do regardless of the political ramifications. Del Duca has also offered constructive ideas to help.
Not all the ideas were originally his, but no right political decision ever is. Del Duca made the case to Ford for the temporary suspension of time of use electricity pricing, so people working from home would not be hit with expensive electricity bills. He advocated for the protection of consumers and the end of price gouging.
Del Duca advocated for more support for renters. Finally, he went out of his way to support allowing licenced restaurants to sell alcohol with takeout in Ontario.
