Andrea Horwath’s scandal: inaccessible in more ways than one


Months ago, Horwath’s NDP received $100,000 from federal taxpayers for a wheelchair ramp for their building. See one?

Since then, the OCLC received more than $100,000 in grants from the federal government to retrofit bathrooms and install an electric wheel-chair lift in the front of the building.

And it appears the corporation raised an additional $100,000 for the work from the Ontario Public Service Employees Union (OPSEU). The only problem — the total cost of the project barely tops $100,000 and no work has begun on the electric wheel-chair lift funded by the federal government.

When the Toronto Sun asked to speak with party leader Andrea Horwath to discuss the project and the grants, NDP spokesman Alex Callahan said an interview would be difficult, given the leader’s “busy” election campaign schedule.


Tea Party Tim: Oooops!

Does Tim Hudak Know When the Debate Starts?


Toronto – – How badly is Tim Hudak’s scrambling campaign in disarray? They don’t even know when to send their candidate to the televised Leader’s debate.

This evening the PC Party sent an email note to their members, telling them to tune in to the Leader’s debate. “The debate will begin at 7pm.”

Oops! Just one problem. The debate starts at 6:30pm.

Maybe they don’t want their members to see Tim confronted about his scheme to kill thousands of Ontario jobs. Or perhaps they don’t want their members to see Tim stammer on his promised property tax hike. Or stumble on his $14 billion hole and cuts to hospitals and schools.

Whatever the reason, memo to the PCs: the debate starts at 6:30pm. Tune in for the whole thing and watch Dalton McGuinty outline his positive plan to keep Ontario moving forward, together.

What does this analysis mean?

…it means we work even harder, relentlessly, to the very end!

According to ThreeHundredEight.com’s seat projection model, the Liberals are likely to win 55 seats – one more than is needed to form a majority government (and with a Liberal acting as the Speaker, the bare minimum to avoid ties in the Ontario legislature). That is a gain of five seats since the last projection…

The Tories continue to shed seats in and around Ontario’s largest city, as three of the four that have flipped to the Liberals were in Toronto and the Greater Toronto Area. The other came in Southwestern Ontario, where the New Democrats also lost to the Liberals a seat they had been projected to win last week. This puts the Liberals in a strong position in every part of the province…

Though many races remain close, the Liberals no longer appear at risk of losing the election to the Progressive Conservatives in the province’s tight races. With support sitting at roughly 35 per cent for both parties, the Liberals can likely win as many as 60 seats if all close races go their way.
