I was in Oakville visiting my parents last week, and flipped through the local paper, The Oakville Beaver.
There was an enormous three-page story about Dalton McGuinty's visit to the town earlier in the week.
While in Oakville, talking to the Chamber of Commerce, McGuinty said that the federal government needs to give Ontario more money.
Now, today, he's back in Oakville, this time to announce that, if re-elected, his party will spend $80 million to plant 50 million trees by 2020.
Also today, he's expected to announce that his party will use Roberta Bondar's education review to re-jig the public school curriculum to make it more eco-conscious.
Either Liberal incumbent Kevin Flynn's having some problems with his poll numbers, or Dalton just really loves Oakville. Flynn is facing tough competition in Oakville. Rick Byers, who ran federally in 2000 and 2004, is a worthy challenger.
Speaking of Bondar, McGuinty's expected in Brampton at Roberta Bondar Public School tomorrow morning. One expects he'll use the opportunity to remind everyone of the new Bondar-inspired curriculum.
He's also expected to make trustees at the local school boards very happy, offering them some money to fix some of their problems.

Hi Mr. MacBride,
Umm.. I don't get your last paragraph where you wrote:
"He's also expected to make trustees at the local school boards very happy, offering them some money to fix some of their problems.
If money could really fix problems, wouldn't McGuinty be keepin' it for himself?
When a life-long liberal like me, has had it with his government, surely there are problems...
Then again, maybe it's just me because I'm actually paying attention.
Signed,
