Wow.  And not even a full year in.  Oh, well . . . .     
   Kathleen Wynne is looking better and better in retrospect now.

   Three-quarters of Ontarians think Doug Ford on ‘wrong track,’ poll suggests   
   Robert Benzie   
      
   Protesters gather at Queen’s Park on Sunday to voice their objections to the   
   Ford government's cuts to education, autism, and health care.  The protest was   
   led by Students Against Public Education Cuts and the Coalition To Stop Ford.   
      
   Three in every four Ontarians say the Conservative government is sending the   
   province down the wrong path, according to a new poll.   
      
   The Environics Research survey, which was commissioned by CUPE Ontario and   
   CUPE Local 79, found the 75 per cent of all Ontarians and one-third of PC   
   voters felt that with the way things are going these days in Ontario, the   
   Ontario PC provincial    
   government under Doug Ford was on the wrong track.  Among those, 83 per cent   
   were women, 83 per cent were younger than 45 and 80 per cent lived in Toronto.   
      
   The overwhelmingly negative numbers echo that of the previous Liberal   
   government.   
      
   However, the poll’s commissioners noted it took the Wynne Liberals years to   
   reach that point.     (=_=)   
      
   “Throughout Ontario and across party lines, people are overwhelmingly opposed   
   to Doug Ford’s cuts to public health,” Fred Hahn, president of CUPE   
   Ontario, said in a statement.   
      
   “Doug Ford claims to be for the people; well, it’s time to listen to them   
   and reverse these cuts.”   
      
   The poll found most Ontarians are not happy with Queen’s Park’s   
   far-reaching cuts to public services, with 80 per cent of those surveyed   
   saying the province’s public health units are “very important.”   
      
   “In the four weeks since the provincial government announced cuts to public   
   health, a wave of opposition has swept across Ontario.  In every corner of the   
   province, people of every political stripe overwhelmingly oppose these cuts.   
   In a word, the    
   results of this poll are devastating.” Coun. Joe Cressy, chair of   
   Toronto’s board of health, said in a statement.   
      
   Thirty-seven per cent of Conservative voters in the last election say   
   they’ve lost faith in the government’s leadership, while two-thirds say   
   they may have to vote for another party come the next provincial vote.      
   (ಥ_ಥ)   
      
   The provincial government has not commented on the findings of the survey.   
      
   The premier is in Durham on Tuesday where he will be addressing business   
   leaders in the GTA.  He’s expected to join the Ajax-Pickering board of   
   trade, the Greater Oshawa and Whitby Chamber of Commerce among other members   
   of the business community for a    
   business lunch.   
      
   He will also sit down with Lakeridge Health president and CEO Matt Anderson.   
      
   The data was collected through an interactive voice response telephone survey   
   conducted across Ontario from May 14 to 16.  A total of 1,332 responses were   
   received.  Both landline and mobile phone numbers were called.  The results of   
   a survey of the    
   magnitude can be considered accurate to within plus or minus 2.7%, 19 times   
   out of 20.
