There are some politicians, some probably very nice, who enter public life with the best of intentions. In some cases, they understand what role they're most qualified to play. Most are not leadership material but make quite good back benchers. Every once in awhile, a good backbencher wins a leadership race and fails miserably. John Tory is one. His instincts for politics, being what they are, are not in sync with the electorate and he's paid the price at the ballot box. Chances are, he'll be a one term mayor of the city of Toronto. His transit plan is simply dumb beyond belief.
Another misplaced leader is Tim Hudak. His plan to lay off 100,000 public workers destroyed any chance he had to win the last Provincial election.
So, why does he (and anyone else for that matter) think he's qualified to lead the Ontario Real Estate Association?
You can find the details of his appointment in this article from REM (Real Estate Marketing).
I have a better idea that will probably enjoy the support of the majority of Realtors across the province. Let's get rid of OREA once and for all! They cost me a lot of money each year. They support issues that are not in the best interest of Ontario and they contribute nothing to the industry.
Be gone with you I say! And be gone with Hudak.
