Dalton McGuinty plays barista in Guelph
30.09.11
GUELPH — Ontario’s premier took a effort coffee break and learned how to make cappuccino Thursday afternoon in Guelph.
But Dalton McGuinty’s concentration was momentarily licked by an angry pharmacist as he fired up the espresso maker.
Dressed in depressed jeans and a “Forward, Together” Liberal railway sweater, a slim and relaxed McGuinty stepped off his stump bus at the Red Brick Café on Westmount Road.
It happened to be National Coffee Day, so making coffee seemed accoutrements. McGuinty was accompanied by his wife, Terri, and Guelph MPP Liz Sandals stayed place off limits to the leader’s side.
The Ontario Liberal Party leader was greeted amicably by supporters as he disembarked at around 1:40 p.m., and was the target of anti-McGuinty chants from a niggardly contingent of Progressive Conservative supporters upon boarding his bus again about 20 minutes later.
The uproarious Progressive Conservative protestors waved the campaign signs of their townsman candidate, Greg Schirk, as they chanted.
