Premier Kathleen Wynne conceded an early defeat for her party’s chances of forming another Liberal government for Ontario when the polls close June 7. The hope now is to play “kingmaker” in a mi- nority government headed either by the NDP or the Progressive Conservatives, which could mean the GPR becoming a “swing riding” if it decides to stay Red and not switch to either PC Blue or NDP Orange. %VSJOHUIFMBTUGFXEBZTPG.BZ 8ZOOF admitted during interviews with major media that the Liberal party’s low rating in public opinion signaled the end of its hope of form- ing another provincial government. The focus during the final week of campaigning has been to gain enough voter support to win eight or more seats, to maintain official party status in the legislature and keep both the /%1BOEUIF1SPHSFTTJWF$POTFSWBUJWFTGSPN forming a majority government. i&WFO UIPVHI * XPOU CF MFBEJOH UIJT province as premier, I care deeply about IPXJUXJMMCFMFE u8ZOOFUPMESFQPSUFST during a campaign stop in Toronto over the +VOFXFFLFOEi1FPQMFXBOUDIBOHF CVU by and large they’re confident about where Ontario stands and where Ontario is headed.

La première ministre Kathleen Wynne (ici lors d’une récente visite à Hawkesbury) admet maintenant qu’elle ne croit pas que les chances d’un autre gouvernement libéral pour l’Ontario soient bonnes le 7 juin. Elle se concentre maintenant sur elle et ses collègues libéraux, dont Pierre Leroux. Glengarry-Prescott-Russell doit conserver suffisamment de sièges pour maintenir le statut officiel de parti à l’Assemblée législative et empêcher le NPD ou les progressistes- conservateurs de former un gouvernement majoritaire. —photo Gregg Chamberlain
