Wynne Loses It For the Liberals

This past weekend was a nightmare was a grand finale for the Liberal Party of Ontario.

As many people know, Kathleen Wynne bailed on the party this weekend and is scrambling to salvage just 8 seats so that the party will at least maintain official party status with the government funding formula.

Any less and they may as well not exist.

It’s a disaster without precedent.

I made a recommendation last week that Wynne should gracefully bow out early so that she wouldn’t lead the LPO into a crushing defeat, but instead, she only half took my advice and announced defeat before the election was over.

This must be simply devastating for the LPO candidates that have begged, borrowed and invested in their own campaigns, only to have it be flushed down the drain by one of Ontario’s worst politicians in history.

Now voters are scratching their heads wondering what the hell they’re supposed to do.

My hope is that they either go really experimental and vote several Green Party of Ontario (GPO) seats so that we’ll have the introduction of proportional representation OR … the NDP will barely have a minority government and will have to negotiate better terms for elections in Ontario.

Either way, June 8 is going to be a VERY different day in Ontario.
