When it was time for Michael
Mclntee of the Walkerton eco-
nomic development committee to
www.lucknowsentinel.com
wrap up a lunch time
discussion with Huron -
Bruce MPP Lisa Thomp-
son, he posed the ques-
tion he was surprised
not to have heard
already.
"When is the elec-
tion?" he asked.
"Before the end of
June," said the MPP, who
coyly smiled as she
promptly responded.
"The way things are
lining up, I feel that we
are looking at going to
the polls before sum-
mer," she added after the
meeting.
Thompson is seeing
the signs, including the
ramping up of Ontario
Liberal Party candidate
nominations throughout
the province.
According to Thomp-
son, Ontarians are ask-
ing for change now and
her colleagues in the
Progressive Conservative
party are ready to act.
"On their behalf, we're
ready to go," Thompson
said. "It all depends
whether the stars align
and the third party (the
NDP) has confidence to
pull the string. But, on
the other side of the
coin, we're hearing the
premier herself may
decide to take us to the
polls."
Regardless of when
the writ drops, Thomp-
son said her party is
ready to go.
If her prediction is cor-
rect, the election cam-
paign could conceivably
begin by Victoria Day,
with a new government Lisa Thompson speaks in
elected in advance of Walkerton.
Canada Day..
