Stockwell, however, took a different slant, saying what set the Tories apart from other parties starting in 1995 was that they actually did what they said they'd do. Now, he said, his competitors are promising things they cannot deliver on, making him fear his party might lose its way and as a result bomb in the general election.

Halton Regional Police said the inci dent began at 2:20 p.m. when a man entered Woodside Library on Rebecca Street and went into an office that is off limits to the public.
