Premier Wynne has granted Stephen LeDrew of CP24 a sit-down interview at the year-end. Snippets of it are being run in advance of the full airing this weekend Thursday night’s preview revealed Mr. LeDrew quite unable to get the Premier to set aside her armour-plated talking points. Every foray came back to Ms Wynne’s rapid-fire recitation of what the Liberals have done for Ontario. The CP24 pundit was earnest nearly to tears as he tried to persuade the Premier to ponder human nature and the practice of spending. On the Ontario Power Generation Corporation, yes, the premier said there is a problem. But the problem was decades old and the Liberals had already replaced all the bosses ten years ago and it didn’t change the culture. Whether that’s entirely correct, who knows? But that was why, she said, the government needed more control over OPG. It was dispiriting to hear the Premier skirt the need to clean house and to keep plugging until the province gets the management it deserves at OPG.
