It's the last week of campaigning in Ontario's provincial election with the Liberals and Conservatives are running in a virtual dead heat. Their platforms present voters with a starkly different approach to what each party says the province needs from a new government
At this point analysts say either front running party could win, but it would likely mean another minority government.
Last week's debate was supposed to clear the air, but when the dust settled many voters still had no better idea of who they would support this Thursday.
All three party leaders say changes are a must, each having a plan to improve health care. On jobs, the Conservatives want to eliminate 100,000 positions in the public service sector and cut personal income taxes. The Liberals want to increase personal taxes on the province's top earners and create a prosperity fund, increase the minimum wage and improve pensions.
But over the past week, opposition parties have focused their attacks against Liberals gas plant scandal under previous premier Dalton McGuinty.
"The sad reality is the cover up continues," said Conservative Tim Hudak.
"In fact, PC members asked for those very same documents over a year ago that was blocked by the liberals. We're not going to get the answers unless we change the government and have a judicial inquiry."
For her part, premier Kathleen Wynne is fighting back.
"Tim Hudak and Andrea Horvath want to talk about anything, anything, but their plans because they don't have plans that are going to work."
Wynne is appealing to left wing voters to vote strategically and abandon the New Demoratic Party in favour of the Liberals in order to prevent a Conservative victory.
And there are signs that appeal is being heard.
Many progressive votes and unionized workers appear to be rallying to the Liberals fearing a Conservative majority.
Still most analysts say this vote is too close to call.
