With a contingent of entertainment and political reporters in tow, California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger will kick off a three-day visit to Canada today to promote the state's wines and sign agreements on climate change and stem cell research.
Ontario's opposition leaders called McGuinty "the king of photo ops" and accused him of cashing in on Schwarzenegger's fame to help promote himself and the Liberal government in advance of a provincial election just four months away.
"They're into a whole series of what I call their deathbed repentances, where they're suddenly doing a lot of things they could have done any time over the last four years," said Conservative Leader John Tory yesterday.
