Sterling ďŹ ghts back MPP mounts membership drive in effort to save seat DEREK DUNN derek.dunn@metroland.com

WARM UP WINTER Winterfest is a bright idea, and a sure way to keep you moving on Feb. 5 and 6. 4

It appears Norm Sterling is heeding the advice of at least one Conservative critic, opting to ďŹ ght back with actions instead of words. The Carleton-Mississippi Mills MPP is battling for his political life against rural activist Jack MacLaren, who is challenging Sterling for the riding’s Progressive Conservative nomination in the lead-up to next fall’s election.
