You're exactly the type of group that the PCs need to target. People like you are very common in urban Ontario, and they used to be PC voters back in the Davis era, but the PC shift to the harder right moved that group into the Liberal camp.
If Christine Elliott is the PC leader, it will certainly be in my consideration to vote PC, I won't automatically write them off like I usually do.
Elliott strikes me as very similar to Wynne. While they disagree on key issues like the ORPP, they're overall style and the way they approach things seems pretty similar. If Elliott wins the leadership and the PCs win a majority in 2018, not much will change in the Ontario government aside from the language. Although of course she'll insist she's doing everything differently. Like that speech she gave... she criticized Wynne and said "I'll do things differently by doing....." and then filled it the rest with basically exactly what Wynne's doing.
