Today is the birthday of one of my favourite people in public life, former Ontario Premier Dalton McGuinty. He is turning 69. One of the most positive people I know, McGuinty lead Ontario from 2003 to 2013, becoming the first Ontario Liberal leader since the great Sir Oliver Mowat himself to win three elections. Happy birthday Mr. McGuinty!
