  9. Hudak's PCs play with fire by playing the 'foreign' card
    Resource Type: Article
    Published: 2011
    Tory Leader Tim Hudak has either tapped into a deep vein of voter resentment against recent immigrants, or taken a detour -- possibly a U-turn -- that has thrown his campaign off course after two years of meticulous preparations. I can't recall ever seeing the normally mild-mannered Hudak more impassioned than when he railed against "foreign workers' in stump speeches across Eastern Ontario. Speaking to relatively sparse crowds of predominantly white, rural, older Progressive Conservative supporters, he claimed they were being disadvantaged by a nefarious Liberal affirmative action scheme to help outsiders.... Yet after reaching out to cultural communities for two years, and boasting that he's translated his platform into 15 foreign languages, Hudak has changed his tune. He still extolls his own Slovak roots, but stresses that his grandfather arrived here without much English or money -- and never took handouts.
  10. McGuinty demands Hudak apologize for ‘foreigners’ comments
    Resource Type: Article
    Published: 2011
    Dalton McGuinty is demanding Tim Hudak apologize for deriding a Liberal plan to help new Canadian professionals as a perk for “foreign workers” or “foreigners.” ... Vic Gupta, the Tory candidate in Richmond Hill, said his party has nothing to apologize for because the scheme is an “insulting” example of “affirmative action.”
    Hudak, however, is not backing away from his choice of words.
    “We’ve lost so many jobs. This notion that the Liberals had an idea that to pay $10,000 to a company to hire foreign workers ahead of anyone else . . . well, no matter how you cut it, it is an affirmative action program that is unequal and unfair and I stand against it,” the PC leader said in Hamilton.
