All three party leaders are campaigning in different parts of the province today.
Kathleen Wynne is staying in the north today while Andrea Horwath has stops in Toronto and Niagara, and Tim Hudak is in Pickering.
After a spirited Northern Ontario debate with Liberal leader Wynne, NDP leader Horwath returned to the campaign trail this morning. At yesterday’s debate Horwath came out swinging, attacking Wynne’s record in office – and today was no different.
She says Ontarians are fed up with the Liberals and says her job if elected as premier is to clean up the corruption at Queen’s Park. She said Wynne played a role in the decisions to cancel two gas plants prior to the last election just to save Liberal seats in two Toronto suburbs.
“Ms Wynne’s record speaks for itself. We’ve had promises made in the last budget that haven’t been fulfilled. Now we have 70 more promises that came with that last budget.”
“It’s time that the people of this province decide, do they want to clean up the corruption here at Queen’s Park? Do they want to settle for a Liberal party that wastes their money, that disrespects them, that’s been mired in scandal and cover-up.”
Meanwhile, Wynne fired shots at PC leader Hudak today at a campaign stop in Sault Ste Marie.
She says former premier Mike Harris is a source of motivation during the campaign. She says Hudak is putting forward proposals that would do more damage than even what Harris did as premier.
Hudak served as a cabinet minister in the Harris’s government.
Wynne also took aim at Horwath, saying Horwath is the reason Ontarians are going to the polls, and for no good reason.
“Andrea Horwath doesn’t know why she rejected the budget. She has made no explanation of why she plunged this province into an election campaign. I guess that’s why she is slinging mud. It’s where she has gone, making false accusations that she knows are not true.”
PC leader Tim Hudak was in Pickering today to talk about the details of his million jobs plan. He says his plan will create more skilled trades jobs by getting rid of the Ontario College of Trades.
Hudak says his plan will create 200,000 jobs by revamping the province’s apprenticeship rules. He says he will eliminate the College of Trades in the first 100 days of office.
“The College of Trades, it has, what, 157 different professions all thrown in? Some massive tax grab to take money out of your pockets? To make you jump through hoops? From hairstylists to call centre operators to bakers.”
“It makes no sense.”
Horwath will be in St Catharines this afternoon.
