Tim Hudak's troubled geometry

The Ontario election is in full swing, and the Conservative party's campaign is guided by a platform booklet called the "changebook." It's an audacious manifesto for significant change in the policy and the philosophy of government in the province, mapping out a long agenda of measures to cut taxes, balance the budget, privatize government assets and agencies, get tough on criminals, change labour laws and arbitration systems to reduce wage increases, end government support for business investments, and many others.
