If all of what you say above is true, I can't understand why the conservatives voted Brown in as their leader in the first place? Chirstine Elliott seemed a much better choice.

What exactly has she done to Ontario?

PatricknBriwn has just been expelled from the PCs, they really don't want him.

What do they have on him? He must be really seriously bone-headed if he cannot see that his future no longer lies in provincial politics. He's obviously sufficiently insensitive that he can't see what a mess he's made of the way he has handled this whole shitshow (Bats summed this up well up-thread), but there has clearly been a complete breakdown of communication within the party as well, if he has really filed his leadership paperwork in the very same hour that Vic Fideli expels him from caucus.

As for Wynne - she's put the minimum wage up, expanded OHIP+ drug coverage to include children, and allowed supermarkets to sell beer & wine. I reckon those are the three most significant accomplishments as far as most Ontarians' daily lives are concerned...

What are the top three things Wynne has changed?


My hydro bill hasn't stayed the same at all.

It's Ontario's ever increasing debt that concerns me.... What are the top three things Wynne has done to improve Ontario to account for that debt?

I'm indebted to Oakvillian for listing three good things. I did know the minimum wage had gone up as it is reflected in the price of chicken feed. "The people at the feed mill doubtless need the money more than I do", I thought, when I heard. I doubt that increases Provincial debt but, if it did, that would be a worthy cause.

I suppose you don't actually have three complaints about her. Nor me. Better her again than an unknown.

Don't forget the extra weeks holiday, unpaid emergency leave for all employees, and some other employment rights stuff.

My friend lives off Danforth, his Hydro bill is crazy, over double my bill in Durham and he has a smaller house.

McCleans sums up the Ontario Liberal Gov quite well

And have we all forgotten the gas plant scandal while Wynne was an MP who was fully behind and backing, then the deceit as all the emails were deleted ending in a criminal court case

This page has the makings of an updated Monty Python's Life Of Brian sketch. Instead of what have the Romans ever done for us its now what has Wynne ever done for Ontarian's.

Her government does seem to have made a bollocks of Ontario Hydro. They all do that, of course.

I was in the airport today and they had the local news on the TV. It said Patrick Brown is going to run in the election to replace Patrick Brown. Is he likely to win?

Maybe his vote will be split. ;)

As one pundit said today, Wynne should go out and buy a lottery ticket! Ontario PC's seem to have a death wish. That Wynne should be anywhere near being elected for another term defies belief....Oh woe is Ontario.

I can't tell them apart to be honest.

It's easy. The clone is the second one.

What if Brown II is made from anti-matter, wouldn't that be a problem if they shook hands after the debate?

It's scary stuff...
