Election day in Ontario is Oct. 6, 2011

-Election Report: It opened with the Liberals under attack for a promised jobs program for new Ontarians that excluded long term citizens. Unions and Green groups went shamelessly with the Liberals, abandoning good Green and NDP policy. Conservative leader Tim Hudak's solution for everything was tax cuts for large corporations. Liberal leader Dalton McGuinty was able to focus on his disputed green, education and health care record. His HST tax increases, the E health scandal and other failures worked against him. The New Democratic Party made gains by paying attention to the North and urban centres, as only the NDP addressed the lower middle class and the poor with promises to freeze transit fares, increases the minimum wage, cut the gas tax and other things.
