The election to vote for the new Premier of Ontario is taking place on Oct. 10, 2007. The four men vying for Ontario's vote are Progressive Conservative Leader John Tory, New Democratic Party Leader Howard Hampton, Green Party Leader Frank De Jong and Liberal Leader Dalton McGuinty whose government is currently in power.
The idea of tax payers paying $400 million to publicly fund faith-based religious schools, raising the minimum to $10.25 an hour by 2010 and Ontario's health care system have been the issues getting the most coverage in The Toronto Star. As well a new vote on electoral reform also taking place on Oct. 10 is also grabbing headlines in the newspaper.
In their coverage on the issue of the proposal to publicly fund faith-based religious schools, The Toronto Star has been very informative. Stories on the issues sourced the opinions of Teachers, Principals and students whom work at and attend faith-based relgious schools respectively.
The Toronto Star also published a story which involved Bill Murdoch, the Bruce-Grey- Owen Sound Progressive Conservative who is against PC Leader John Tory's idea to faith-based religious schools.
The paper explained in Minimum wage talk galvanizes Unionist an article by Robert Benzie how the NDP will go about raising the minimum wage.
When it comes to Health Care Issues, The Toronto Star, published articles about how Premier Dalton McGuinty is not well liked by a few patients because of his broken health care promises.
Overall, The Toronto Star did a very good job in reporting on the issues making headlines during election time.
