Ontario’s Liberal premier has written an open letter to newly announced candidate for Conservative leadership Kevin O’Leary criticizing his proposed policies and comments he made about Ontario’s auto sector.<\/p>\n

Kathleen Wynne wrote that she thinks O’Leary believes the government’s role should be to serve \u201csociety’s most well-off,\u201d based on policies he’s outlined thus far.<\/p>\n

O’Leary announced that he’s running for Conservative leadership last week.<\/p>\n

Wynne wrote the letter in response to comments she said O’Leary made to the media, though she didn’t give specifics about which media outlets.<\/p>\n

She said O’Leary was \u201cinaccurate on just about every count\u201d when he told media that Ontario falls behind Michigan when it comes to investment in the auto sector.<\/p>\n

She closed off the letter by welcoming the former \u201cDragon’s Den\u201d and current \u201cShark Tank\u201d star to the political arena.<\/p>\n

\u201cI respect anyone who is willing to enter the den,\u201d she wrote.<\/p>\n

O’Leary’s campaign didn’t immediately provide a response to Wynne’s letter.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
