Leader Dalton Mcguinty: Tabloid Headlines

Canadian Citizens Dept: The Liberal pledge to provide $10,000 tax credits for businesses to give training and work experience to 1,200 highly skilled Canadian citizens, trained elsewhere already living in Ontario for under five years has been the first big issue of this election campaign, according to The Star. The Conservatives have gone into overdrive, believing they have found a wedge issue they can exploit. Using rhetoric and advertising some would call xenophobic, the Tories darkly warn that Liberal Leader Dalton McGuinty has launched an affirmative action for foreign workers scheme. It is the hottest of hot buttons, fuelled by hysterical tabloid headlines, fulminating talk-radio hosts, and rabid partisans on Twitter and Facebook. As soon as the $12 million promise was leaked on the weekend, Progressive Conservative Leader Tim Hudak pounced. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
