Ontario Premier Kathleen Wynne deserves credit for keeping her composure when pressed on why her government spent nearly $600,000 on ads for its proposed new pension plan during the federal election. The premier didn’t crack a smile — not even a little grin! — when she insisted the timing of the promotional push for the Ontario Retirement Pension Plan (ORPP) was not intentional, and she had no idea the Conservative government would call the election when it did. Wynne’s spin should come as no surprise to Ontarians. The Liberal government lost its ethical bearings long ago — back, say, when it allowed unions to run million-dollar ad campaigns against its opponents while topping up union strike funds
