Ontario Premier Dalton McGuinty resigns

Premier Dalton McGuinty is resigning as Ontario premier and as leader of the Liberal Party.

The premier made his announcement after calling a surprise caucus meeting on Monday evening.

"After 16 years as leader of the Ontario Liberal Party and after nine years as premier, it’s time for renewal, it’s time for the next Liberal premier," McGuinty said.

"It’s time for the next set of Liberal ideas to guide our province forward."

McGuinty's done nothing but drive the province into a ground, even worse then the Harris years.

Though I can't help but think that he's taking the easy way out; his neo-liberalism's destroyed most of what made Ontario great.

McGuinty and his brand was beyond its expiry date. Maybe, a non-confidence vote will set the wheels in motion for Premier Horwath.
