Big Jim Leeson parks his Cessna Skyplane, zips up his jacket and goes to pay a house call. By flying, Wiarton's Dr. Leeson figures he's beaten one of the biggest problems facing the progessive rural doctor today: Isolation from his colleagues and the big city medical centres. With his Cessna he can hop down to Toronto in an hour for a lecture. Still, he admits, a rural practice might not be every doctor's cup of tea, I'm a farm boy myself...I'm used to it, he says.

Colorful Dan Casey, executive director of the Ontario Liberal party, gleefully admits he's packed a meeting or two himself, but it's his job to see it doesn't happen at Ontario meetings where voting delegates to the leadership convention will be chosen. It's a matter of conscience, he said, when picking Canada's PM.
