Education on Election Radar

Ontario's education system is getting a lot of attention from all three parties in the upcoming provincial election.

Premier Dalton McGuinty warned elementary teachers gathered in Toronto that if the Progressive Conservatives win, the system will return to the cutbacks of the Mike Harris era.

Tory Leader Tim Hudak wasn't invited to speak at yesterday's meeting, but the Conservatives were quick to deny McGuinty's claims, saying they will put two billion dollars into the education system.
