Ontario Liberals out front in 2 new polls ahead of election

Watch video above: Alan Carterreports on the day it was on the election trail the Tories and Liberals attack the NDP, the NDP responds and Wynne celebrates her birthday.

TORONTO Ontarios Liberals and Progressive Conservatives would have voters believe that theyre the only ones on the ballot in the June 12 election, relegating the New Democrats to the ranks of insignificant fringe parties.

The fight for strategic votes got underway in earnest Wednesday after the blackout on political ads was lifted, flooding the airwaves with commercials aimed at attracting voters outside of their traditional base of support to win a majority government.

While touring Ontarios manufacturing heartland, Premier Kathleen Wynne stuck to her message that the real choice voters face is her partys compassionate, sensible approach to growing the economy and creating jobs, or calamitous Conservative cuts that would plunge the province back into recession.

The NDP? Well, they dont even matter, she said.

Every time Andrea Horwath introduces a kind of non-sequitur, an idea that floats out there on its own, it further makes her irrelevant to the very serious challenges that were confronting, she said while visiting the Toyota plant in Cambridge, Ont.

There are no simple one-off solutions to the challenges were confronting.

Its a time-honoured tradition for the Liberals to target NDP voters, painting their party as the only one that can stop the Conservatives from taking power, said Henry Jacek, a political science professor at Hamiltons McMaster University.

Tories, Liberals dismiss NDP as a choice in the June 12 election

TORONTO - Ontario's Liberals and Progressive Conservatives would have voters believe that they're the only ones on the ballot in the June 12 election, relegating the New Democrats to the ranks of insignificant fringe parties.

The fight for strategic votes got underway in earnest Wednesday after the blackout on political ads was lifted, flooding the airwaves with commercials aimed at attracting voters outside of their traditional base of support to win a majority government.

While touring Ontario's manufacturing heartland, Premier Kathleen Wynne stuck to her message that the real choice voters face is her party's compassionate, sensible approach to growing the economy and creating jobs, or calamitous Conservative cuts that would plunge the province back into recession.

The NDP? Well, they don't even matter, she said.

"Every time Andrea Horwath introduces a kind of non-sequitur, an idea that floats out there on its own, it further makes her irrelevant to the very serious challenges that we're confronting," she said while visiting the Toyota plant in Cambridge, Ont.

"There are no simple one-off solutions to the challenges we're confronting."

It's a time-honoured tradition for the Liberals to target NDP voters, painting their party as the only one that can stop the Conservatives from taking power, said Henry Jacek, a political science professor at Hamilton's McMaster University.

The Liberals are fighting a war on two fronts, with the Tories trying to eat up their support on the right end of the political spectrum and the NDP attacking on the left, he said. So they're stoking fears over Tory plans to cut costs and public sector jobs to help win over NDP voters, telling them they could elect the Tories by default if they divide the centre-left vote.

Wynne often reminds voters on the campaign trail that the election was called because the NDP didn't support her budget, saying it contained measures NDP voters wanted, such as increasing the minimum wage and increasing wages for personal support workers and early childhood educators.

Party officials have also fired out quotes from disgruntled NDP supporters, who say leader Andrea Horwath has lost her way.
