I guess I rarely say this, but Dalton McGuinty might be drifting toward the right track here. He plans to create long-term re-training programmes to help laid-off workers acquire new skills, parallel to the federal government's unemployment benefit that runs out in 36 weeks.
Credit to Stephen Harper for not giving in to the welfarists (although a little concession for those who are in the process of full time skill re-training might be in order) and credit to McGuinty when due. Instead of clinging onto welfare he might be on the road to rowing Ontario out of its manufacturing rut. Maybe, just maybe.
