It says his brother is the mpp for ottawa south, yet at the bottom of the page it states he is the current mpp???????
- No, it says his brother is the MP (federal parliament) for Ottawa South. Dalton is the MPP (provincial parliament). └ OzLawyer / talk ┐
This is a very fine document in many ways. The details are, for the most part presented clearly and I basically really like it. Just a few comments; however, regarding typos and clarifying statements: -the word "resignation" reverses the 'i' and the 'g' -the statement 'class size' should mention that it has to do with schools because international readers might not understand what you're refering to -the 'budget in an auto parts plant' is also ambiguous for those who didn't previously know about this. I suggest adding the word 'presentation' after budget or'was presented.' Perhaps a brief statement (in brackets) telling why this location was unsuitable will give readers a glimpse of what type of government was in place before McGuinty rose to power. Here again, this will give international readers and Canadians outside of Ontario a clearer picture.
Thanks for the terrific info.

[edit] Terri McGuinty
Does Terri McGuinty need her own article? I don't think she is notable enough to have her own but should just re-direct here. Any one disagree? --YUL89YYZ 01:57, 1 January 2006 (UTC)
[edit] NPOV
The article contains both double-speak.
On social issues, McGuinty holds progressive views. He supports abortion rights, although he is personally pro-life.
McGuinty is generally regarded as a moderate fiscal conservative.
McGuinty undertook a series of well-choreographed events, including signing a taxpayer's protection pledge not to raise taxes...
How can one be support abortion rights and be pro-life at the same time. Mr. McGuinty has certainly proven that he supports abortion rights, as Ontario tax dollars are currently being used to kill unborn human babies in the womb of their mother.
Mr. McGuinty's record as a moderate fiscal conservative is also dubious. So far he has run two deficits in a row, and he has raised taxes despite his promise not to raise taxes. Richmondrk 02:52, 2 May 2006 (UTC)
- I've removed the NPOV notice -- the above comments are not sufficient grounds for its retention. CJCurrie 03:24, 4 May 2006 (UTC)
- It's quite possible to put the wishes of one's constituents above the personal feelings held by a politician. What's unfortunate is that this doesn't happen more often. --Kickstart70-T-C 17:46, 3 June 2006 (UTC)

- While I agree that Mr. McGuinty is a moderate fiscal conservative, I think this statement needs a citation. The Toronto Star recently called him (and John Tory) a "shrewd Bill Davis-style fiscal conservative of convenience" [1], but I'd like to find something a little less tongue-in-cheek. -- Gaius Octavius | Talk 22:07, 6 September 2006 (UTC)
- Oppose merger (re: kitten-eating reptile). We've already been through this. CJCurrie 01:35, 4 June 2006 (UTC)
- The real discussion is happening over at the other page. In any case, I see an AfD, which rightly failed as this is good content, but no signs of a previous merge proposal, so this has not been completely covered before. --Kickstart70-T-C 16:56, 4 June 2006 (UTC)
