The interesting thing is to watch Wynne and try and understand her thinking which can lead to some realizations about her as a politician and a person . It is very obvious that Wynne didn ' t really understand anything was wrong until the Scarborough byelection loss , a riding that the Liberals had always held since its inception . Prior to this she never once acknowledged that people were struggling with their hydro bills and she definitely didn ' t accept blame for that or much of anything else really . Now suddenly she is issuing public mea culpas and saying it is unacceptable that people are having to chose between food and their bills and we ' re starting to see the government do things like eliminate the Drive Clean fees but not the entire program . The Liberals don ' t really have a great record of any sort to run on so two things are going to happen with the election in 2018 front of mind because that ' s all she cares about really getting reelected if you ' re having trouble with your Hydro bill she doesn ' t really care beyond how you vote 1 She ' s just going to make stuff up to look good which we already see when she blathers on about infrastructure spending starting to pay off . The Liberals are starting to crow a little but about the declining deficit if it gets to zero expect Sousa to be shouting from any rooftop he can get to . Unfortunately , selling off assets like Hydro One and dipping into reserves to pay off the deficit isn ' t any great lasting achievement and the infrastructure spend has always suffered from a real lack of detail how much exactly is being spend and where , etc . 2 Things like the Drive Clean fee cancellation are going to continue to no end because Liberals can ' t run on their record they can only buy your vote , ironically with your own money . Either way , it ' s going to be an ugly year and half until the next election and I haven ' t even mentioned the innuendo and mud that will be thrown at her political opponents .
