Ontario’s Kathleen Wynne says she’s not giving up despite poor showing in polls
TORONTO — Facing a barrage of poor polling numbers for her Ontario Liberals, a subdued Kathleen Wynne said on Friday she would keep doing what she can to push her party’s accomplishments in government.
Recent surveys suggest Wynne’s Liberals trail both the Progressive Conservatives under Doug Ford and a surging New Democratic Party under Andrea Horwath, who polls now suggest has jumped into the top spot in voter preferences ahead of the province’s June 7th election.
“Am I going to give up? Absolutely not,” Wynne said at a campaign stop on Toronto’s waterfront. “This is way too important that we continue to talk at the doors across this province about what we have done and what we can do going forward.”
Her government has helped ensure strong business, a strong economy and a fairer society — accomplishments too important to abandon, Wynne said.
