It’s a favourite spot for a lot of people living in the Etobicoke-Lakeshore region, not to mention a great place to grab a mid-morning snack.

Horwath finishes her day framed by picturesque falls, in a riding where her union candidate after edged out the Tories in February’s by-election. She promises to lower hydro bills (get it? Waterfall?
