But it’s not hard to tell an election is coming. The pre-October funding announcements are ramping up, as the Dalton McGuinty’s Liberals scramble to convince voters to give them another chance at Queen’s Park. The province’s wood allocation process, which is great for the local forest industry, is also a convenient way for our local MPPs to try to get face time in the media spotlight.
