In House panel: Ontario election edition

The Ontario election campaign feels like it started months ago, but this week was the official kick-off.

Key issues like carbon tax, safe injection sites, minimum wage, day care and drug coverage have already been discussed at length by the three main party leaders.

The CBC's Poll Tracker suggests the Progressive Conservatives ahead with 41.1 per cent support and on track for a solid majority government. But for the first time, the New Democrats have moved into second place and ahead of Kathleen Wynne's Liberals. The NDP now stands at 27.2 per cent support, with the Liberals trailing in third at 25.7 per cent.

How will the official opening of the campaign change the playing field?

The House convened a special edition of our In House panel to break down what the final weeks before the election could look like for Andrea Horwath's NDP, Kathleen Wynne's Liberals and Doug Ford's Progressive Conservatives. We ask the Toronto Star's Rob Benzie and the CBC's Mike Crawley what to expect as voting day approaches.
