Has Kathleen Wynne finally run out of luck?
For a while there, Kathleen Wynne looked like the luckiest politician alive.
Just six weeks ago, as she surveyed the political landscape, this is what the Liberal premier of Ontario saw:
Andrea Horwath’s New Democrats had been in a witness protection program for months. And, when they were finally starting to show signs of life, they lost their chief of staff to allegations he was indifferent to complaints about sexual harassment.
Progressive Conservative leadership candidate Caroline Mulroney was revealing herself to be completely unprepared for the top job – she looked and sounded uncertain, she was visibly nervous, and she was clearly out of her depth. Her campaign team had oversold her and she had underwhelmed many. Many Ontarians were saying Wynne would eat her alive in a leader’s debate.
