Wynne prorogues legislature





Gotta keep that money flowing from the elites, Kathy.

What a hypocritical, lying, deceiving Liberal POS she is.

Gobbling up cash from the rich, entitled elite who buy her favour.

Reminds me of some other Liberals that can be bought.

Premier Kathleen Wynne is proroguing the Ontario Legislature and bringing down a Speech from the Throne in a bid to push the reset button after a controversy-plagued past few months.

The assembly will begin its fall sitting Monday as planned, but will now open with a speech from Lieutenant-Governor Elizabeth Dowdeswell laying out Ms. Wynne’s plan for the second half of her four-year mandate.

The move is an acknowledgment that, as Ms. Wynne has pursued a big-picture agenda over the past two years that included fighting climate change, expanding the province’s pension system and investing billions in building transit, the government has let day-to-day concerns get away from them.

The Liberals are also eager to change the channel after a rocky few months. The government’s privatization of Hydro One has proven broadly unpopular – polls indicate between 60 and 80 per cent of Ontarians believe electricity companies should be government-owned – and the Liberals are embroiled in an ethics controversy after The Globe and Mail revealed a system of cash-for-access fundraising. Under the system, corporate leaders seeking business with the government paid thousands of dollars for face time with Ms. Wynne and members of her cabinet.

Yes "big picture agenda" is now the phrase the media party is using to describe Wynne instead of "completely loony agenda", "fiscally irresponsible to the point of criminal agenda" and "ignorance of basic economics agenda". Yes thank you Kathy for jetting to Paris, not once, but twice, during the big UN climate party last year. Let's see if you can out-do your personal best and jet three times between Toronto and Marrakech (the site of this year's mega-millions crony party) and really show everyone how "fighting" a fairy tale is far more important than helping with the day to day lives of the poor saps who voted for you.
