Ontario’s political parties are unleashing their campaign ads on television, radio and print media today.
Election rules prevented them from running the ads in the past two weeks, but the blackout period ended at midnight.
The Liberals are rolling out a TV commercial across the province, as well as 35 different radio spots voiced by Premier Kathleen Wynne.
The commercial shows Wynne talking about her platform, but also slamming Tory Leader Tim Hudak’s plans to cut 100,000 jobs in the public sector.
Party officials say the commercial isn’t a negative ad, but one that shows the choice voters face in the June 12 election.
The Tories are also putting out a radio ad targeting the Liberals and their costly decision to cancel two gas plants ahead of the last election at a cost of up to $1.1 billion.
Wynne will tour the Toyota plant in Cambridge today, Hudak campaigns in eastern Ontario, and NDP boss Andrea Horwath has stops in Brampton and Toronto.
