On Tuesday morning — to kick off the third week of the Ontario election campaign — NDP leader Andrea Horwath was pressed at her media avail about the cost of declaring Ontario a sanctuary province.

I was glad that the question was put to her since I’d been trying for two days, with little success, to find out from her assorted media handlers whether her crazy Sanctuary Province concept had been costed out — especially in the wake of Toronto Mayor John Tory’s warnings last Friday that the flood of refugees into our Sanctuary City are creating a shelter and fiscal crisis.

But instead of actually answering the question — remember Horwath has proven to be a proficient tap dancer — she launched into her virtue signalling talk contending, at least that’s what it sounded like, that the idea is all about treating illegals who are ill and come “bleeding” into an emergency ward.

“We don’t have to ask for their passport before we treat them,” she said. “Those are my values, those are the values of most Canadians, most Ontarians … it’s about basic humanity.”
