Premier Dalton McGuinty has called a Nov. 24 by-election in Scarborough-Rouge River and his handpicked candidate to succeed veteran Liberal Alvin Curling - now Canada’s ambassador to the Dominican Republic - is local city councillor Bas Balkissoon.
While McGuinty heaped praise on Balkissoon, who was instrumental in exposing the MFP computer leasing scandal at city hall, the rookie Grit candidate hasn’t reciprocated.
On his website votebas.ca there is nary a mention or a photograph of McGuinty.
This at a time when even the most inane Liberal press release at Queen’s Park is touted as a major initiative by the “McGuinty government.”
Watch for a change on the site as soon as the premier’s many hypersensitive handlers get wind of the Internet snub.
