		Ontario's premier-designate Dalton McGuinty plans to recall the legislature before the end of the year, and he says the first priority will be reviewing the province's finances.
		As departing Premier Ernie Eves conceded the election at a funereal post-campaign party at the Orangeville fairgrounds, the sniping and back-biting began to escalate with bitter Tories scrambling to lay blame for the historic loss.
		Ontario voters ended the Common Sense Revolution with a dramatic flourish yesterday, handing Dalton McGuinty's Liberals one of the largest majorities in the province's history and giving Ottawa its first hometown premier.

		This poll, taken during May of 1999 during the 1999 Ontario provincial election, gives a rich account of voters' opinions re: the competency of the PCs, Liberals and NDP in each of several areas of governance (e.g., health care, education, child welfare, etc.) and provides invaluable insight for context in election 2003.

		The Ontario Coalition would allow a combined tax return between husband and wife, so that a family would be taxed according to the total combined income.
		In their election platform, the Tories say that they will "speed up" (they don't say how much) the schedule for phasing in a partial tax credit in respect of tuitions paid to independent schools.

	CNN.com - Ontario Tories call election after energy crisis - Sep. 2, 2003
		Ontario Premier Ernie Eves called an election for Oct. 2 Tuesday, with his conservative government facing an uphill battle to woo voters angry at health and education cuts and the botched deregulation of the province's electricity market.
		Ontario, Canada's economic powerhouse, lagged the United States in getting its power plants back to full operation, prompting the provincial government to impose usage limits that left manufacturers operating at reduced speed.
		Ontario's experiment with electricity market deregulation last year sent the government's popularity into a tailspin as consumer prices soared.

		The economy of the province is important to most voters, and Ontario’s economy has been in the dumper since the first outbreak of SARS last spring.
		Ontario Hydro was a hot button issue (and still is with the hapless NDP) but any attempt to blame the recent flout on the Eves’ government, when the problem arose in northern Ohio would also be dangerous for the opposition Liberals to try.

	Ontario general election, 2003 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Ontario general election of 2003 was held on October 2, 2003, to elect the 103 members of the 38th Legislative Assembly (Members of Provincial Parliament, or "MPPs") of the Province of Ontario, Canada.
		In the 1999 provincial election, the Tories were able to ride a North America-wide economic boom and a highly negative campaign aimed at proving rookie Liberal leader Dalton McGuinty was "not up to the job" to another majority government.
		First, in 1990, the Liberals had lost the election in part due to perceptions that they called the election early for purely partisan reasons; this resulted in a long-standing reluctance to call snap elections in Ontario.

		Now, LeBlanc says, fire fighters will press them to act on those commitments, which include changes to the provincial pension plan that will facilitate bargaining of the increased pension accrual rate of 2.33 per cent, which was won by the IAFF in February after years of lobbying at the federal level.
		While their election result was less than expected, the NDP campaign ensured that important social issues and the need for publicly-run hospitals and utilities were part of the debate.
