Minority Government Possible


There's plenty of talk of a minority government being elected in Ontario Thursday.

The Liberals and Progressive Conservatives are running neck and neck in the polls with the NDP likely to hold the balance of power.

Premier Dalton McGuinty is making it clear he isn't interested in any form of partnership with the other parties if there is a minority government.

The NDP is side-stepping speculation about a minority at the legislature and plugging what it would do during its first 100 days in office instead.


Leader Andrea Horwath says she's focused on running for premier and connecting with voters before Thursday's vote.

Tory leader Tim Hudak warns the Liberals and NDP will team up to raise taxes if a minority government.


Hudak won't say what he might offer Horwath to get her support, saying he doesn't want to play ``Let's Make a Deal.''
