Provincial Conservative leader John Tory is taking it on the chin by some who say he is being wishy-washy and showing weak leadership by changing his position on allowing a free vote in the legislature on funding faith-based schools.
Why?
If anything I think Mr. Tory should be credited with actually listening to voters and allowing that his ideas on this subject may not be what people want.
Who cares if he came to this realization during an election campaign?
I believe true strength is shown in the ability of one to bend. How many trees have fallen because they were too brittle in the face of strong winds?
I realize I am opening the door to too many jokes by talking about politicians and strong winds in the same story, but my point is that whether you like a politician's platform or not, it is comforting to know that he or she is open to hearing what the public has to say and willing to make changes to meet those concerns.

I think it showed a lot of leadership. He didnt during the election and not after the fact.
