This week's perspective from Bob Reid:
Bill Murdoch has always had a way of attracting attention. So the P.C. MPP was consistent this week with his call for the creation of the “Province of Toronto,” arguing that the priorities of the big smoke are so out of synch with those of rural Ontario that we might as well be a jurisdiction unto our own. Will it ever see the light of day? Of course not. But unlike wacky ideas which are immediately dismissed out of hand and only serve to harm the credibility of those advancing them, this one has a ring of some kind of truth at its essence – which is why it got as much editorial and talk radio debate as it did. And, it further reinforced Murdoch’s own personal brand as a guy who stands first and foremost for the interests of the constituents he serves, and isn’t afraid to tell the big city folks what he thinks.
