McGuinty Says No to Northern Leaders Debate

Premier Dalton McGuinty is the lone holdout for a Northern Ontario leaders debate ahead of the October 6th election.

The Northwestern Ontario Municipal Association is hosting the debate in Thunder Bay next Friday.

NDP Leader Andrea Horwath says that McGuinty is once again turning his back on Northerners.

P.C. Leader Tim Hudak says the Liberals don't care about local issues.

McGuinty says he'll instead push for a Northern segment in the televised leaders' debate September 27th in Toronto.
