Still on his radar ...

John Tory hasn't forgotten about us here in "the Falls" .... in pre-election campaigning yesterday he said .....

"It is quite clear that Mr. McGuinty neither understands nor respects small business," said Tory. "His government steadily adds to their tax and regulatory burden."

Tory also pointed to 140,000 manufacturing job losses across the province since 2005, citing layoffs at local industries including the Hershey plant in Smiths Falls.

Tory blasted the Liberals for years of tax increases, calling for the elimination of "the unfair, regressive health tax," which he labelled the biggest single tax hike in the history of the province.

I'm hearing through the proverbial grapevine that "our guardian angels" surplused 30 more positions last week out at Rideau Regional Center last week.

No word on how the local economy is supposed to replace the "million $$ plus" annually in lost wages, from that hit alone.
