Premier tests the temperature of the politicl waters. Will she get a Valentine?

BURLINGTON, ON.          

January 15, 2014

Premier Kathleen Wynne has decided to put her toes in the water and see if it’s warm enough to swim in.

There will be by-elections in the electoral districts of Niagara Falls and Thornhill.  If the Liberal government manages to take both – you can bet real money on a Spring election.

The Niagara Falls riding is next door to that of Progressive Conservative leader Tim Hudak.  Losing that will hurt his leadership badly – very badly.  The Liberals are offering the good people of Niagara a new hospital to elect them.

In Thornhill the PC’s are going with a candidate that isn’t all that happy with his party.

These by-elections which will be over before Valentine’s Day will tell the government if the public is buying into Premier Wynne

Writs were issued today under for by-elections in the electoral districts of Niagara Falls and Thornhill. The by-elections will fill vacancies created in the provincial parliament.

Under the Election Act, elections must be called on a Wednesday and held the fifth Thursday after the date of the issue of the writ. Voting day will be on February 13, 2014.

    Wynne is toast, but, will be rewarded with some cushy welfare type job following the spring provincial election, for taking the hit for McGuinty.

    Valentine’s day massacre.

    Bring back Mike Harris for some common sense!
