Had to double check that this wasn't an April fools thing.

In a surprise move, Ontario Premier Dalton McGuinty announced his resignation Monday evening.Just one year after winning a third mandate, Mr. McGuinty called his caucus together around the dinner hour at Queen's Park. With his wife, Terri, sitting in the front row, he said he plans to step down as Premier and as leader of the Liberal Party. He will hold on to his seat in the legislature, representing Ottawa South.

Seems like odd timing, could he maybe be thinking of the federal leadership?

Energy Minister Chris Bentley is already facing a rare censure over his refusal to release documents to a legislative committee last May. The Finance Committee has until Nov. 19 to determine whether he should be held in contempt.The controversy surrounding the cancelled projects deepened on Friday after the government released another 20,000 pages of documents that were not identified as part of the initial search.
With the legislature now prorogued, all business grinds to a halt, including the move to find Mr. Bentley in contempt of parliament.
