The Green Party let Ontario voters know where they stand on the issues when they released their election platform on Thursday.

While the party has struggled with being included along with the other three main parties in the past, they scored a major win on Wednesday when leader Frank de Jong won approval to appear in a televised debate in Mississauga next week. T he greens stated they would shift taxes onto resources and activities that are harmful to the environment.

"Our goal is to shift the budget to shift the provincial budget two per cent per year off of jobs, off of businesses and onto pollution, resources and sprawl," says de Jong.

Conservative leader John Tory will try to shift focus away from his controversial statements regarding funding religious-based public schools when he visits Nanticoke , Ontario 's most polluting coal plant, on Lake Erie .

Tory is inching closer to current premier Dalton McGuinty's small lead and will again stay on the attack, this time focusing on the Liberals for delaying the closing of the coal plants.

Wednesday, he implored NDP supporters to vote Liberal as a way of keeping Tory from the premier's office.

Meanwhile, NDP leader Howard Hampton will be in Ottawa Thursday morning to roll out the second of six major campaign promises.

His first big promise, made Wednesday, calls for a phase-out of Ontario 's health-care tax for people at the lower end of the pay scale.

Premier Dalton McGuinty thanked the Toyota corporation on Thursday on behalf of the Liberals, saying the extra 2,000 jobs would be a valuable boost to the economy.

"Today we celebrate 2,000 direct jobs, thousands of spinoff jobs - great, high paying jobs that will last, jobs that make our province stronger, and our communities stronger and our families stronger, and I want to thank our friends at Toyota, from the bottom of my heart, for choosing Ontario," says McGuinty.

You will be able to watch the leaders debate next Thursday, September 20th starting at 6:30 PM, Live on CP24.
