Very good point.
Beyond personal dislikes, Wynne has tried to shift the blame for her incompetents on the feds not helping her bail herself out.

Harper has basically told her to clean up her own mess.

I think the last straw in that relationship was when one of her major platforms pieces during the election was the implementation of a unaffordable provincial pension, and that the Feds would help pay for it, to which Harper basically responded with a hearty "Are you fracking stupid, I never told you any such thing moron"

Like I said right now the Liberal name is mud provincially in Ontario, and I think that Trudeau is making a huge tactical mistake in even being seen standing int he same room with Wynne.
