The Toronto Star is reporting that Frank Klees is running for speaker of the house in Ontario. This action will essentially give Dalton (Dad) McGuinty a majority government and Klees will go the way of Belinda Stronach in Ontario politics. Klees will prove nothing more than the fact that he's an unprincipled opportunist who seeks only power and a temporary title. There's a saying that those who stand for nothing will fall for anything, and that certainly applies to Mr. Klees.
Hudak, despite his shortcomings and faults, has been unjustly stabbed in the back. Klees made many red-Tory rumblings when he ran for PC leader against Hudak. Clearly, Klees has become even more of a turn-coat since his failed leadership bid. If this is how he gets pay-back, he's a very small man.
Mr. Klees would do well to consider how history will remember him. If Dalton pursues disastrous policies that lead to economic ruin, Klees will bear responsibility. Regardless of what happens, Klees will be known as an untrustworthy man with no integrity and no principles. He'll go the way of Stronach and other turncoats who took advantage of short-term gain for the sake of their own egos and vanity.
Shame on Mr. Klees for subverting the will of the electorate for his own selfish gains.

I actually take the opposite view, because I believe McGuinty will be less of a disaster with a majority than with a minority being propped up by the support of the NDP.
We already know Dalton will pursue disasterous policies, but they will be even more disasterous with NDP support.
I was kind of hoping that Hudak would cross the floor to become a Liberal, basically fixing two problems at once. We would get rid of Hudak as PC leader, and get the NDP influence out of the Ontario government all at the same time.
