If anybody was thankful this Thanksgiving, it was Liberal leader Dalton McGuinty, who went out campaigning Monday knowing that a new poll put him way ahead of his competition. Joining supporters in Mitchell, Ontario for Thanksgiving lunch, McGuinty said he’s not taking the lead for granted.
“We’re not taking anything for granted,” McGuinty told reporters after speaking to about 100 supporters in a barn at a hog farm. “There’s lots of time left for voters to make up their mind.”
He also denied reports he plans on raising taxes.
However, his opponents are reminding voters McGuinty has a track record that is less than trustworthy. NDP leader Howard Hampton accused McGuinty of neglecting seniors. “They have no plans for home care or long-term care.and that’s why you have seniors lying in soiled diapers for 18-19 hours a day,” he said. Progressive Conservative Leader John Tory said voters should think long and hard before they pick their next premier. “Grandchildren, children, senior citizens themselves should be asking, ‘can I afford four more years of this man with his insensitivity to me on the health tax, insensitivity to me on long-term care, insensitivity on property taxes, doctor shortage and a host of other issues?'” he said. “I say the answer is no.”
