"They're telling people what they want to hear. They've giving answers that Newfoundlanders and Labradorians want to feel good about," Davis said earlier this week.

"There's no way they can make this plan work, there's no way it can happen."

During Monday night's leaders' debate, Davis warned the Liberals wouldhave to sell off major Crown corporations like the Newfoundland and LabradorLiquor Corporationor Newfoundland andLabrador Hydro to pay for its promises.

The PC leader spread further accusations on Twitter on Tuesday, claiming the Liberals arelying to get elected.

'It's fearmongering'

Ball refuted Davis's claims Tuesday during a campaign stopon the Port au Port Peninsulaand accused Davis of deceiving the public.

"It's deliberately misleading information based on the premier," Ball said. "There [are] no for sale signs on anything in this province."

He claimedDavis is trying to incite fear in voters.

"Mr. Davis right now in his questioning and the statements that he was making are inappropriate, they're wrong, they're misleading, and they're fearmongering," he said.

Ball will take part in a debate on Wednesday night, facing off against the other candidates in his district of Humber-Gros Morne.
