Your Home Your Vote – the penultimate night

(Update)

There’s now just one more day of campaigning to go — before Ontario elects a a new government. And with polls showing a very close race between the Liberals and P.C.’s — the party leaders are pushing hard for every vote they can get.

With every indication that this is close election race, the party leaders are putting pressure on their workers to get the message out.

NDP Leader Andrea Horwath — who polls consistently put in third place — was campaigning into the night in Kitchener-Waterloo. Calling on supporters to work even harder: “You’re gonna have to double and triple that effort over the next day or two. It is gonna be extremely important that we don’t tire out until the polls close on Thursday night. So I’m going to ask all of you to turn up the heat.”

And Horwath was firing back at Kathleen Wynne who’s been calling on NDP voters to support the Liberals in order to stop the Conservatives.

Horwath accuses Wynne of making up falsehoods about the NDP supporting a Conservative minority: “I know that Wynne has been trying to spread insinuations about false, falsities quite frankly, about my intentions.”

Kathleen Wynne was cranking up the energy level of her campaign: “So, here we go, one more day to push through, one more day. All right. How many doors can be get to? How many people can we talk to?”

As she tried to convince voters not to support the NDP.

While P.C. Leader Tim Hudak said there’s nothing positive for the province in the Liberal attack campaign: “All I’ve heard from Kathleen Wynne and the Liberals is negativity, attack, a lot of anger. That’s not going to bring a single job to back to the province of Ontario.”

Through the day, Wynne and Horwath were on the attack. Wynne calls Hudak dangerous. Horwath accuses Wynne of Bull-Spit — that’s spit with a ‘p’. Conservative leader Hudak was staying positive, accusing the other two of negativity and saying he’s offering a message of hope, not mudslinging. All three leaders have long days planned for Wednesday.
