CANOE -- CNEWS - Canada Votes 2007 - News: Liberal record takes back seat to faith based schools

Ontario's Progressive Conservative, New Democrat and Green parties had hoped voters would file into Ontario's polling stations Wednesday with a single message burned into their minds: Liberal Premier Dalton McGuinty is a notorious promise-breaker.

Instead, after 30 days of campaign promises, canvassing and partisan attacks, just one issue has dominated the agenda - the question of whether to extend funding to faith-based schools that opt into the public school system.

The Conservative leader said he can't believe it's become the defining issue of the campaign when the province is grappling with so many other problems. He blamed McGuinty for fostering misunderstanding and fear about funding faith-based schools.

"It was in his interest to keep anything going that obscured a discussion of his record," Tory said.

The Liberal premier's first budget after winning the 2003 election broke his cornerstone promise to hold the line on taxes. The health levy was followed by an oft-delayed commitment to close Ontario's coal plants - now scheduled for 2014, seven years later than promised.
