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.

The 30-second spot, voiced by Wynne, is now out online and will be broadcast on traditional media starting May 21, once a political advertising blackout ends.

Horwaths 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.

Finance Minister Charles Sousa said at a press conference that Horwaths decision raised the prospect of a radical Progressive Conservative government led by Tim Hudak.

Sousa criticized Hudaks plan, unveiled Friday, to cut 100,000 public sector jobs as a way to help eliminate the $12.5-billion deficit by 2016, saying its contrary to his pledge to create jobs.

Hudak has said he would create one million jobs in Ontario over eight years, and is adamant his plan to cut public sector jobs would spur job creation in the private sector though just how that would come about wasnt immediately detailed.
