TORONTO — Ontario Premier Kathleen Wynne is again lashing out at the federal Conservatives saying they are out of ideas and out of touch.

In a lengthy speech to the Empire Club in Toronto, Wynne complained about a lack of national leadership on a host of issues ranging from climate change and infrastructure funding to Syrian refugees and pensions.

Without mentioning Prime Minister Stephen Harper by name, Wynne told the business audience that government “should not seek refuge in fear” but must speak in an optimistic voice.

She said Canadians deserve a government that is focused not simply on winning an election, but on using its mandate to make a positive impact in people’s lives, and urged voters to elect Justin Trudeau’s Liberals on Oct. 19.
