It appears Ontarians will be spared a quick return to the polls.The threat of a snap election eased after Premier Dalton McGuinty and NDP Leader Andrea Horwath agreed to pass the budget to avoid the defeat of the minority Liberal government.
McGuinty had earlier stepped back from his threats to go to the polls over changes the opposition parties made to the budget Thursday.
But he wrote to Horwath yesterday, saying those sections would be brought back in the fall as a separate bill.
