John Tory by-election in Haliburton-Kawartha Lakes-Brock today
Today is a big day for the Ontario PC Party. After months of being outside the provincial legislature, it is widely expected that tonight PC leader John Tory will win the by-election in Haliburton-Kawartha Lakes-Brock and return to Queens Park to hold the McGuinty government to account. The by-election comes a day after Ontario Finance Minister Dwight Duncan revealed plans to run an 18 billion dollar deficit for this fiscal year and next. It also comes after a successful policy convention held by the PC Party of Ontario in Niagara Falls. If you are from the riding, it is important that you get out and vote. Results could be closer than expected. For information on how or where to vote, please visit the Elections Ontario website by clicking here. I look forward to John returning to the legislature and I think the good people of Haliburton-Kawartha Lakes-Brock will be will served by the leader of the official opposition as their MPP. The by-election was called following MPP Laurie Scott's decision to step aside for Tory. In the last provincial election, Laurie Scott won the riding by a 10,000 vote margin. I wish John Tory and his campaign team the best of luck in today's by-election!
