NDP Leader Andrea Horwath is expecting to be in the crosshairs of more attack ads, with a month to go until Ontario voters pick a new premier.

Horwath was targeted in a 30-second online clip, narrated by Liberal Leader Kathleen Wynne, for refusing to back the minority Liberal government’s budget. The decision triggered the June 12 provincial election.

In an interview with CP24 Breakfast, Horwath claimed voters are assuring her she made the right move.

“People are actually shaking my hand and saying, ‘Thank you, it was the right decision to make.’ I’ve had a very positive response overall,” Horwath told news anchor Lindsey Deluce on Tuesday.

The ad rattles off a handful of left-wing-friendly proposals that were included in the budget. At the end of the clip, Wynne asks: “Is Andrea Horwath for real?”

Horwath said her party wasn’t convinced the Liberals would deliver on their promises.

“I think the problem is the budget was unreal and that’s what the bottom line was,” Horwath said. “There’s just no way we can trust the Liberals to implement those plans and that’s why it was time for people to go to the polls.”

She expects to face more attacks for joining the Progressive Conservatives in rejecting the budget and toppling the government.

“It’s definitely going to be a campaign where there’s going to be more of that kind of thing,” Horwath said.

The NDP leader is campaigning in Toronto on Tuesday, a day after she took her campaign to Thunder Bay and Sudbury.

Horwath said the issues in northern Ontario are similar to those in the south – people are concerned about jobs, transportation and the affordability of everyday life.

With transportation, people in urban centres such as Toronto and Hamilton are worried about mass transit, while people in northern communities are concerned about the state of roads and bridges or even establishing a public bus service, Horwath said.

After the interview, Horwath joined CP24 meteorologist Bill Coulter to deliver a morning weather update and three-day forecast for the GTA.

Horwath is the third party leader to sit down for an interview with CP24 Breakfast. Last week, Wynne and Progressive Conservative Leader Tim Hudak tried their hand at reading traffic reports.
