Premier Wynne went before the Ontario Liberal Annual General Meeting Saturday in Ottawa and called high electricity prices her “mistake.” Canadian Press reporter Allison James said Ms. Wynne sounded “a note of contrition” on the politically damaging cost of power in the province. She called evidence of her of her personal unpopularity the “elephant in the room.” She is quoted as saying: “I think that people look at me and many of them think, ‘She’s not who we thought she was. She’s become a typical politician. She’ll do anything to win,”’ Wynne said. “Frankly, I may have and I think I sometimes have given them reason to think that.” Wynne said part of convincing Ontarians that she wants to do what is in their best interests is admitting when she has made a mistake.
