So there you have it, ladies and gents: Six weeks and a $90-million election later, we have another Liberal government with Premier Kathleen Wynne at the helm (the first time Ontario voters have elected a woman premier, and the first time they’ve elected an openly gay premier, in case anyone’s counting).
After a fractious campaign that focused on Liberal scandals, this wasn’t an outcome many saw coming.
Here’s what twitter had to say:
The June 3, 2014 debate highlighted the scandals @DavidBilbert is talking about.
Bad politics are in reference to the gas plant scandal, and the bad math is in reference to Tim Hudak’s one million jobs plan.
The Ontario Provincial Party has been offering 30 per cent off tuition since 2011.
Many more found this election’s issues to be discouraging.
Hudak’s plan to cut 10,000 jobs is only 0.0001% successful as he is not receiving the title of premier.
The Liberals 2014 budget features a lot of spending.
After Hudak’s decision to step down as PC leader, Ontarians look to Horwath to possibly do the same.
Hudak was criticized for his ‘bad math‘ throughout the six-week campaign.
The Harper government’s failing grade in the freedom-of-information audit is just one example.
We are already on it. How did #Wynne #win? Read more here.
Official numbers haven’t been released yet, but less than 50 per cent of eligible voters have made it to the polls to cast a ballot every election since 1990.
Wynne’s re-election had a lot to do with the actions of Tim Hudak.
