Leader Andrea Horwath: But Harper was on full combat footing when it came to Wynnes made-in-Ontario pension plan even before NDP Leader Andrea Horwath forced this campaign on provincial voters, according to The Star. In the week leading to the Ontario campaign, Harper dispatched his junior finance minister Kevin Sorenson to Toronto to announce some federal pension tweaking, but really to tell a Bay Street audience that Ontario needs to balance its budget and stay away from inflicting higher payroll taxes on the province and putting provincial businesses at a disadvantage and It may appear Stephen Harper is being dragged into the Ontario election campaign by responding to goading by Liberal Leader Kathleen Wynne.
