Wynne: 'It's a tough election, there's no doubt about that'

Why Newmarket-Aurora could go from red to blue in June

It's day two of the May long weekend and all of the Ontario party leaders are making moves around the province. 

NDP Leader Andrea Horwath is in Ottawa before she heads south to Kingston. 

PC Leader Doug Ford is back in the Toronto area, but he's not making any announcements today. 

After a day off, Liberal Leader Kathleen Wynne is back in Mississauga today, her fourth trip to the area during the campaign. Reporters questioned Wynne on whether she's worried that some key Liberal strongholds will be lost on June 7. 

Here's where we are on day 12:

Latest from the campaign ​​

• NDP pledges to end gas pump 'gouging' but details are vague
  • ​Andrea Horwath is pledging to set weekly gas prices that wouldn't change on long weekends if she is elected premier, but was vague with how price stabilization would happen.
• Doug Ford hammered over allegations stolen data helped boost campaign
• ​Doug Ford blames former PC leader Patrick Brown for the current problems the party is facing with the 407 ETR data breach controversy

Kathleen Wynne knows this election is anything but "in the bag."

That was part of her response to a reporter who questioned if she is playing "defence" by focusing her energy in places like Mississauga, which leaned strongly Liberal in the last election. 

"If you're asking me if we are in a horse race in this election: absolutely. This is a tough election, there is no doubt about that," Wynne said.

Wynne participated in the Inspirational Steps 5K run in the GTA suburb this morning, an event she says draws participants from around the region.

She touched on child care, minimum wage and seniors care as important issues.

"There are really, really important issues at stake in this election and it should be a tough election and people should be questioning us," Wynne said.

In 2014, the Liberals won all of the Mississauga ridings with about 50 per cent of the vote. Full Ontario 2014 riding results breakdown here. 

Wynne denied she's spent too much in Mississauga, saying she'll be in the north later this week.
