Overall Impression: There's not much to dislike in the platform. The most significant parts are reasonable and geared towards making daily live better for Ontariens. He's not as polished and "politician like" as the Toronto crowd are used to, so he will have some difficulty getting acceptance within the GTA, but the direction is right on.
