Cornwall Ontario – Premier Wynne’s election hopes are deader than Tim Hudak’s were , except uglier and nastier. Today’s Auditor General report showed that the Ontario deficit is nearly double that which the Wynne Government has disclosed.
As reported in the Toronto Star
“When expenses are understated, the perception is created that government has more money available than it actually does,” Lysyk wrote in a scathing 27-page pre-election report to the Legislature.
The Doug Ford led PC Conservative party responded in a press release:This morning, the Auditor General released a pre-election report on the government’s budget numbers. The report found that Ontario’s deficit is actually $11.7 billion, 75 per cent larger than the Liberals would have you believe.
“This is just the latest example of why Kathleen Wynne is untrustworthy. The Wynne Liberals will do, say, or promise anything to cling to power – this includes using shady accounting practices to bury the true state of Ontario’s books,” said Ontario PC Finance Critic, Vic Fedeli. “The Wynne Liberals’ deliberately misleading shell game is proof that the people of Ontario can’t trust this government.”
Ontario PC Treasury Board Critic, Lisa MacLeod said, “Kathleen Wynne has proven time and time again that she can’t be trusted. It’s clear that the Wynne Liberal government isn’t telling the people of Ontario the full story. The Ontario PCs are going to make sure the people of Ontario know the whole truth.”
“This is why Ontario PC Leader Doug Ford has committed to a full audit of the government’s books to restore responsibility, accountability, and trust in government.”
What do you think dear CFN viewers? How badly will Kathy drag down the Liberals this election and can they win more than seven seats?

Well surprise, surprise Kathleen Wynne’s government lied. Is this anything new? Nope, not one bit. It was expected, as was her government’s response that it was an “accounting dispute.” Seriously?? Do they expect anyone to buy this crap.
The liberals may only get 7/8 seats in the house this year. NDP should get close to 20 to 25 seats. PC’s will have a super majority this election!
It will take years and years for the Liberals to recover and the sea of red that swept through Canada a few years ago will turn to Blue!!!!
