TORONTO – Liberal Premier Kathleen Wynne is staying in the north today to campaign in Sault Ste. Marie and Sudbury following her debate Monday with NDP Leader Andrea Horwath in Thunder Bay.
Horwath has stops planned in Toronto, St. Catharines and Fort Erie, while Tory Progressive Conservative Leader Tim Hudak has a morning event in Pickering.
On Monday, Horwath went for the jugular as she and Wynne debated northern Ontario issues.
Calling the Liberals corrupt and saying voters are fed up with their lies, Horwath said voters deserve a hard-working, honest government and that starts by cleaning up the corruption at Queen’s Park.
