TORONTO – The Liberals and Progressive Conservatives say Ontario voters will have a very clear choice June 12 between two very different views of the province, and both dismiss the NDP as having no plan.
The Liberal buses will roll from Queen’s Park this morning, but Premier Kathleen Wynne wasted no time kicking things off with a well-attended rally in Toronto on Friday night, followed by smaller events in the city during the weekend.
Wynne spent much of the weekend in a verbal sparring match with Prime Minister Stephen Harper on her call to create a provincial pension plan, which he called a tax that voters would not like.
