What bugs you most about politicians? The number one thing may be the way they handle - or in some cases, mishandle - your tax dollars. But whether you like the people in charge or not, a visit to Queen's Park can leave even the most stalwart supporter of any party disillusioned.
The reason: the activity during Question Period can sometimes seem more like a 5th grade classroom than a place where serious leadership is being displayed. But Conservative leader
John Tory claims if he's elected, he'll find a way to put an end to all the name calling, yelling, stomping, insults and back biting once and for all. And he pledges to do it using the two things all politicians understand - their wallets and their reputations.
Tory vows if he gains power on October 10th, he'll change what he terms the 'dysfunctional' nature that exists at the Legislature by suspending those who misbehave and forcing them out of the chamber without pay. "It's not that the money necessarily in and of itself is going to break anybody's bank account but it's going to send the message to people that, if you misbehave, there's going to be a consequence more serious than to give you a bonanza of free publicity and give you the rest of the afternoon off."
He also plans to change the hours your elected reps sit to make it more family friendly and attract more female candidates.
