ive been talking to people about the upcoming election. there is alot of anger directed not only at mcguinty, but also his local mpps.

jim foulds and john rafferty could easily pick up these seats, especially after the parkdale-high park and york-south weston upsets!

I wouldn’t count out the PC’s here either. Rebecca Johnson is extremely well known and well liked in the region, and Scott Hobbs is a young candidate who could appeal to many people who want new ideas.
Should be interesting and much closer than last election!

I’ll throw out an actual sane prediction:

Liberals will win. 58 point leads dont evaporate unless theres a major downfall in government like the PC’s in 1993 or the EI cuts that killed the Liberals in Atlantic Canada in 1997.

Nothing in this campaign seems to show that McGuinty is even going to lose, let alone have a major collapse in his vote.

What ever happened to the $650,000 of tax-payers’ money that was used to finance the Thunder Bay Community Economic Development Commission (CEDC) which was launched back in 2006 to much fanfare and promise? Weren’t citizens of Thunder Bay told that Founding CEDC CEO Steve Demmings was ‘an economic development executive with strong private and government expertise and a knack for building partnerships’? Weren’t citizens of Thunder Bay also told that the CEDC was ‘a project-based, business-led, partner-driven, community-supported organization’? So why is it that after more than 1 year and several hundred thousand dollars later, Steve Demmings and the CEDC don’t have a single project on the books? Where is the annual report to show what Demmings and the CEDC did with all that tax-payer money?

Citizens of Thunder Bay - wake up and smell the coffee. You are being fleeced by your so-called ‘community leaders’ who are doing nothing but bilking hundreds of thousands of your hard-earned tax dollars from beneath your collective noses.
