Not true....the problem is Toronto stupidity dictating what happens to the entire province....Rob Ford hurt Hudak ...

Make it count !!! Be heard...Enough is enough

BALLOTS COUNT. Don't spoil them. Usually, you are supposed to put an "X" in the circle beside the name of the candidate you want. The instructions will be clear. Ballots can be spoiled by drawing smiley faces, colouring in the whole circle, making any marks at all outside the circle, drawing cartoons of Hitler, etc etc etc. trust me, when it's this tight and the SS Fiberal is taking on water, they will be desperate for votes and may dispute more than they usually do. Keep your ballot simple and straightforward tomorrow. Make it count.

Old Ironmaker- im sorry my friend your defense for the Libs truly doesn't warrant a response,,,but i do know that you obviously believe in "innocence until proven guilty" i wish the Liberals did as well...ask any family that has had their family pet torn from their homes and euthanized or shipped out of this province solely based on its appearance. it seems the Liberals have put the onus on the owner (kind of sounds like "guilty until proven innocent?" wouldnt you agree?)....Im not going to debate Ms Taylors list with you or your opinion of her...Its raw information she has provided and studied for the last 11 years...I think you have some reading to do to catch up.

If your still not sure which way to vote among the candidates this could be of assistance....if your answer comes back Liberal....please try again http://www.cbc.ca/elections/ontariovotes2014/votecompass

Actually the ipso poll is closed and it has PC with 36 NDP in second with 30 and Libs in third with 30 and falling fast....i know polls arent always correct but they do give a little insight as to whats going on...lets hope it keeps in this direction...

Wynne would look good in Ornge too Gerritt

That was a McGuilty move to help Wynne create seperation from him and his scandals....it didnt work...Wynne cant seperate from McGuilty because she was a nucleus of the cancer

This is funny ...A liberal sign guy for John Frasier gets caught taking down PC signs and then claims he is a card carrying NDP....For those wondering ...its against the law to vandalize political signs...but if your a liberal.....the law doesnt apply to you BUSTED! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tqeu0_MMvSM#t=213

Via Marilyn Taylor, who has been keeping track of Liberal scandals for the past eleven years. Read it, show it to friends who aren't clued in, share it far and wide. Be sure to give Marilyn credit for the list when you share. This is the last time I will be posting my list of Liberal scandals. The choices are clear between the two leading parties. A vote for the Liberals is a vote to pay more taxes, receive fewer services, have money taken from your wallet and put into the wallets of the Liberals and their union friends, to condone the continuance of Liberal theft and corruption and to watch Ontario go completely bankrupt. A vote for the Conservatives is a vote to not pay any new taxes, to have your income taxes reduced once the budget is balanced, to have more services, to see a reduction in the size of the Liberal's newly-created bloated bureaucracy and to watch Ontario get on the road to economic recovery. If you care about your children, grandchildren and great grandchildren and are concerned about the massive debt the Liberal's have already saddled them with, don't vote Liberal.

Harvard” - she went there for a one week seminar only McGuinty changed the green energy rules to benefit Liberal-linked firms Continued to give out hundreds of millions of dollars a year in tax subsidies to TV and film productions despite a scathing internal assessment that questioned whether the money was the best way to help the industries Liberals receiving perks at Metrolinx Continuing to cover on our dime, the same health care for refugees that we get “plus” supplemental health care for refugees that we don’t get after the federal government cancelled giving refugees free supplemental health care

And speaking of scandals...T Boone Pickens is suing the province for 1/2 a billion dollars for unfair trade practices concerning the Green Energy Act......way to go Mcguinty/Wynne...another cluster phook the tax payers will be on the hook for.

There is a group promoting the idea that people should decline their ballot in this election, someone did the spade work (wish I could find the links) and the guy running the site is a Conservative from way back. New spin on the voter suppression idea? Don't trick 'em, just tell 'em to do it and they will?

Brian did you drill holes in the PVC to keep it in the water or is it going to float up on its side...i suppose you could fill it up if you needed....innovative fishermen are the best fishermen

Here's the question people need to ask themselves. If the Liberals were your employees (which they actually are), and were carrying on at your office, store or construction site the way they have been behaving in public administration, what kind of performance review would you give them? Massive amounts of capital are missing. Infrastructure is falling apart. Debt servicing is outdistancing production. Various department heads are not keeping their sticks on the ice. Credit is downgraded, "customers" are leaving to buy elsewhere. The place is a shambles. Would you renew their contract or show them the gate, knowing full well there are lots of qualified applicants out there just waiting for a chance to put things right? Ideally I'd like to see PC or NDP governing with either one being official Opposition. I honestly don't care much which it is, because I think that would strike an excellent balance in the Legislature. I'm not especially partisan, by the way, but nothing would be more gratifying than to see the evil OLP reduced to only a handful of seats in the House. It would make up for the last ten years of oppression they have perpetrated against visible minorities, newcomers to Canada and those without fat wallets who happen to own dogs.

Piping Plovers are on the endangered species list...A pair of Plovers decided to nest on the main beach in Port Elgin so the MNR came in and sanctioned a portion of the beach and set up a protection cage during the hatch...the two birds have become some what celebrities for birding groups as people are showing up from all over to photograph them...no eggs have hatched as of yet

Fantastic...
