  Posted: November 20th, 2008, 10:19am MST by Jack

  Tags:  Columns   [edit]

  I know it is unusual for a former premier to comment on current events, but given the fiscal and economic crisis facing Ontario and Canada, and the tragic news that Ontario is now a "have-not" province, I want to add my voice to those calling for bold thinking and far-reaching new ways of looking at our economic problems.
