Theeeere Off!

As my father used to say, "They're off: as the monkey sat on the circular saw!" As are the political parties in their quest for electoral success, Cathy Galt opened her office, local Liberals are gloating about the largesse of the Provincial government (as explained in a leaflet received last week from Loo), and the NDP are holding their first official planning session this week.

Fixed election dates mean longer election campaigns, the question is - can we stand them? I saw election signs in Oshawa yesterday, it's going to be a long Fall.

So what are the local election issues? Please use the comment box to explain your issue and what you think will be a theme as the parties go to the hustings.
