TORONTO – Ontario is heading to the polls.

NDP Leader Andrea Horwath said she will vote against Premier Kathleen Wynne’s spring budget which means that the Liberal minority government would fall on a confidence vote as early as May 7.

“It’s time for change,” Horwath said Friday. “You deserve a better government.”

Horwath said the growing list of scandals attached to the Liberal government and her lack of confidence in Wynne to deliver on her budget promises are behind her party’s decision to pull the plug on its support.

“Kathleen Wynne cannot even build a raft. How do we expect her to actually build a ship?” Horwath said. “We will not be voting in favour of any confidence motion including the budget.”

A confidence vote could be held any time between May 7 and June 2, but Wynne could also trigger an earlier election herself.

Premier Kathleen Wynne, speaking on the Lorne Brooker Show on CJBQ radio in Belleville, said Friday that she was disappointed that Horwath would not meet with her as requested to discuss the budget.

“I think there’s a lot in this budget that needs to be implemented in the province,” Wynne said. “But I’ve said all along if we didn’t have a partner in the Legislature then we would taken this budget to the people of the province. And we will do that.”
