Mayoral candidate Jim Watson does a wonderful job selling his “integrity plan” and dissing opponent Larry O’Brien. In the process he appears to have stolen some of mayoral candidate Clive Doucet’s ideas, no sole-sourcing for example. However, he does not plan on revisiting the Lansdowne Park sole-source decision.
Unfortunately, Watson’s plan also overlooks some of his own transgressions; in particular, candidates taking developers’ donations. He could have taken action on this issue in his previous role as municipalities minister in the Ontario government, but didn’t. Larry O’Brien talks about “releasing corporate donations” but Clive Doucet didn’t need a “policy” to know it is wrong to take donations from developers.
Clive Doucet is now the only leading mayoral candidate that does not take donations from developers, and this has been a key plank of his campaign from the beginning.
