Complicating matters is Andrea Horwath’s NDP, which at present has few economic policies at all, beyond raising corporate taxes and giving tax credits to employers in return for new hires. Believing the electorate has little appetite for policy ambition, the New Democrats have mostly focused on populist pitches such as lower auto-insurance rates. It’s a strategy that all but rewards Ontarians’ cynicism and complacency, although that’s not to say Ms. Horwath’s likeability couldn’t help her reach some corners of the electorate that might otherwise tune out. http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/politics/engaging-the-unengaged-a-huge-challenge-for-politicians/article18412464/
