WATCH: Things are getting ugly as the campaign comes to a close. Alan Carter breaks it all down.
TORONTO – Ontario Premier Kathleen Wynne says a Liberal campaign flyer depicting her Progressive Conservative rival laughing as a hospital explodes behind him is “not acceptable.”
The flyers imposed Tory Leader Tim Hudak’s image over top of the Joker character from the Batman movie “The Dark Knight.”
Wynne says it’s not consistent with what her party has been doing throughout the campaign.
Liberal Steven Del Duca, who holds the riding of Vaughan where the flyers were distributed, has apologized to Hudak over Twitter.
Public opinion polls suggest Ontario’s Liberals and Tories are in a virtual tie with just a day left before voters cast their ballots.
The Tories say the flyers are fear-mongering at its worst to scare voters into voting Liberal.
Deputy Tory leader Christine Elliott says such tactics are beneath the Liberal campaign team or any politicians.

WATCH: A dreary final day on the campaign trail is focused on the accusations by PCs and Liberals about dreary tactics being used against each other.
The leaders of all three main parties are putting in one final push on the last full day of campaigning, with Wynne staying in Toronto but focusing mostly NDP-held ridings.
She’s also planning to visit the PC riding of Etobicoke-Lakeshore, which is the party’s only Toronto seat.
New Democrat Leader Andrea Horwath is making eight stops at non-NDP ridings in Mississauga, Brampton, Toronto, Oshawa, Belleville and Kingston.
The Tory campaign also starts out in Mississauga, but Hudak then heads south to Waterloo, Niagara Falls and Jarvis, where he’ll wrap up his campaign with a town hall meeting.
