Newfoundland and Labrador Premier Danny Williams is focusing his so-called Anything But Conservative campaign on southern Ontario.
Mr. Williams says he recognizes that southern Ontario is a battleground for the federal Conservatives and he wants to remind residents there of the harm Stephen Harper's government has brought to the region.
In an interview today with The Canadian Press, Mr. Williams says Finance Minister Jim Flaherty disparaged Ontario when he said that the province was the last place someone would want to invest.
On Monday, the provincial premier's ABC campaign bought a billboard along the Gardiner Expressway in Toronto to remind voters of Mr. Flaherty's remarks.
But Mr. Williams also says he won't take his campaign outside the province because he didn't think that would be the most effective use of his time.
That's a change from his position earlier this year, when he said he would hit the hustings in Ontario.
