Whether it be the proposed cancer treatment centre at Osh- awa General Hospital, funding for local echools or saving jobs at the Orono tree nursery Mille eaid hie performance epeaks for itself.

"All statistical evidence shows that we were unfairly treated by the Tories and now the Liberals. I think we have every rigbt te go for the juguler.» Mille said Ontarios 98 Iàberal MPs' are not standing up for their own province and the pro- vincial Liberals cannot be expec- ted te challenge their federal cousins. "We have te tighten our beîte, but in a fair mariner,» he eaid. "Were not askingr te be treated equally with the other proice, but not te dump it aIl on us.» Not surprismngly, MiIW Tory opponent does not share bis explanation for fighting Ottawa.
