Dalton McGuinty was just across the border in Brampton to announce that he found $309 million in between the seat cushions at Queen's Park.
He's putting that money into education.
Trustees are happy, which kind of surprises me.
The Dufferin-Peel Catholic District School Board trustees have been told for the past two years that they have enough money to balance their books and that they should stop whining. Now, suddenly, they're getting more money. If they had enough, why are they getting more?
The trustees appear to know better than to complain about getting more money, though.
Now we're off to see John Tory, who's just up the street from the Mississauga News office at about 1 p.m.
Then, later this afternoon, the feature presentation: The Cabinet Shuffle, starring Stephen Harper, and probably not Gordon O'Connor.

Mr. MacBride,
Seeing as how you have much freer access to our political leaders than a chump-citizen, can you put this question to each of them please?
Ask them to define "accountable" when they (and all politicians do this) trumpet, "We are accountable to the public".
Or better yet, if they should sling that "accountable trout" during one of their press-thingies, write the statement down.
Then ask them to define "accountable" as they used it in their statement.
Then see the FUN.
Because, believe me, Mr. MacBride, I'm having so much FUN asking politicians and government staff to:
"please define "accountable" for me.
Also. For the provincial leaders. Can you ask if in their next term they will let the Ontario Ombudsman loose on the MUSH sector.
I have a municipality that I'd like Andre Marin to have a peek around at.
Signed,
The (citizen-chump) Mississauga Muse

Dalton found some money. Well well; what a coincidence. I just lost my wallet.
