NIAGARA FALLS, Ont. – Tim Hudak says he’s honoured to be given a second chance to lead Ontario’s Progressive Conservatives after their humbling election defeat last fall.
Hudak received 78.7 per cent support yesterday from delegates at the party’s convention in Niagara Falls.
Most observers expected the rookie leader would keep his job, given the possibility of a snap election in a minority legislature.
Hudak says there was no magic number for staying or going, but adds he’s humbled by the “clear endorsement” of his leadership.
He vows to put forward a clearer, more positive, conservative alternative to the Liberals — with a sound plan for creating jobs while also reducing Ontario’s massive debt.
The Liberals say it’s a sign Hudak hasn’t learned his lesson and will keep up his brand of divisive politics.
