Barrie Liberals hope to pick candidate soon

Local Liberals hope to have a Barrie candidate in place by Monday for the June 12 provincial election.

Stephen Bertelsen, president of the Ontario Liberal Party's Barrie Provincial Riding Association, said there was a conference call Sunday morning with Toronto party officials.

We are now in the midst of having three individuals interviewed, of high profile, so that announcement will come shortly, he said Sunday morning. I'm hoping by tomorrow (Monday) you'll have your candidate.

It is pressing, as Barrie is win-able, so we want to find the right person.

Rod Jackson of the Progressive Conservatives is the incumbent Barrie MPP, having won the riding in 2011. Liberal Aileen Carroll was the previous MPP, although she did not run for re-election almost three years ago. Before Carroll, PC Joe Tascona held the Barrie riding for about 12 years.

Bertlesen later said there were more than three potential Liberal candidates for Barrie.

There are a number of people right now being approached, he said. We have gone through an interview process with several, and so right now we have tasks that we need to complete.

On May 1, Ontario's Liberal minority government unveiled its provincial budget. New Democratic Pary leader Andrea Horwath announced the next morning, May 2, that she would vote against the budget. PC boss Tim Hudak said before the budget that his MPPs would not support it.

The same day, May 2, Premier Kathleen Wynne visited Lt.-Gov. David Onley and asked him to dissolve the Ontario legislature, and the request was granted for a June 12 election.

Given this happened more than a week ago, Bertelsen was asked Sunday why the Barrie Liberals still don't have a candidate.

Liberals take aim at both NDP, Tories

Ontario election sparks spirited debate-Image1 The Canadian Press, 2014

TORONTO - The political punches are flying mostly left, but also to the right, in this weekend's campaigning for Ontario's June 12 election.

The verbal brawling started Saturday morning with the Liberals unleashing an attack ad targeting NDP Leader Andrea Horwath for opposing their left-wing friendly budget.

Horwath countered, saying she couldn't support a budget that promised 70 new plans after the government failed to follow through on three key promises it made last year.

She cited Liberal plans for an auto insurance rate cut, financial accountability oversight and home care improvement.

Horwath and the Liberals, meantime, both took aim yesterday at Tory leader Tim Hudak's plan to create 120,000 jobs by cutting corporate taxes.

Hudak said he'd pay for his plan by scrapping grants to businesses, which he calls "corporate welfare."

Horwath, however, dismissed that as a failed idea, while the Liberals referred to the prospect of a Hudak-led government as scary.

Premier Kathleen Wynne had no public events yesterday but will be in Mississauga today to join the Breast Cancer Society of Canada's annual Mother's Day Walk.

Liberals unveil new attack ad in Ontario election campaign

The Canadian Press Published Saturday, May 10, 2014 7:45AM EDT Last Updated Saturday, May 10, 2014 1:17PM EDT

TORONTO -- Premier Kathleen Wynne took a day off from campaigning Saturday, but the Liberals were far from silent, rolling out a new attack ad and a one-two punch to their opponents.

The ad takes aim at NDP Leader Andrea Horwath, noting proposals for transit and social programs that were in the Liberal budget that Horwath said she would not support.

"We were all mystified last Friday by Andrea Horwath and the NDP's decision not to support our budget," Finance Minister Charles Sousa said Saturday. "It simply doesn't make sense."

The budget included left-wing-friendly promises for a provincial pension plan, levies to raise billions of dollars for public transit, roads and bridges, billions more for corporate grants, a minimum wage hike and higher taxes for individuals earning more than $150,000.

But Horwath said she had lost confidence in Wynne and the province's minority Liberal government and couldn't prop up a government that has been the focus of scandal after scandal.

Horwath's announcement that the NDP would not be voting for the budget sent Wynne to the lieutenant governor to ask him to dissolve the legislature and call an election.

Sousa said at a press conference Saturday that Horwath's decision raised the prospect of a "radical" Progressive Conservative government led by Tim Hudak.

He spoke of the "terrible choice made by Andrea Horwath and the alternative, which is more of a scare, and that would be Tim Hudak."

"The Hudak PC's agenda for cuts and labour wars gets more radical and more dangerous by the day," Sousa said.
