Ontario Leaders Debate

Ontario's political leaders return to the campaign trail today after last night's only televised debate before next Thursday's election.

Premier Dalton McGuinty was on the defensive during much of the debate over soaring electricity bills and higher taxes under the two-term Liberal government.

But the Liberal leader gave as good as he got, especially when he lashed out at Progressive Conservative Leader Tim Hudak for attacking a tax credit to help new Canadians get a job.

NDP Leader Andrea Horwath was the most aggressive of the three leaders, frequently interrupting her male opponents to criticize.
