Wynne's election defeat was described as the worst for which group?

  • A political leader

  • A female premier

  • A governing party

  • The Liberal Party

Answer

The worst election defeat for a governing party in Canadian history was suffered by the Ontario Liberals under Dalton McGuinty in 2011, when they lost 54 of their 71 seats in the provincial parliament. The defeat was largely attributed to voter dissatisfaction with the party's handling of the economy, the introduction of a controversial new sex education curriculum, and a corruption scandal involving the sale of public assets.
