Those hoping for a change of government in Ontario will have to wait at least four more years.
Wiarton Willie, the electoral prognosticator, emerged from his lair on Friday and declared that the scandal-ridden Progressive Conservatives will lose the upcoming election, finishing in a distant third.
As is customary, the handsome groundhog was presented with pictures of the three main political party leaders - the Liberals Kathleen Wynne, the NDP's Andrea Horwath, and interim PC leader Vic Fedeli. Whichever picture Willie pees on first is virtually guaranteed to win the next election. Willie promptly peed on Premier Kathleen Wynne's photo, followed by Ms. Horwath's.
"Obviously the Tories cannot catch a break right now," said South Bruce Peninsula Mayor Janice Jackson. "It appears as though Willie didn't even recognize Mr. Fedeli. We can only guess what would have happened if Doug Ford's picture had been available."
Wiarton Willie has correctly predicted the outcomes of the last 12 provincial elections.
