For Wynne, Trudeau’s ascent also a victory for Ontario
Never before have the provincial and federal platforms been so closely aligned – they are almost interchangeable, notes a senior Wynne official, on a number of issues, including values, family, the environment, retirement security and infrastructure.
“Our historical investment in infrastructure, $130-billion plus over 10 years, matches exactly what they put forward in 10 years …” notes a senior Wynne aide. Mr. Trudeau has promised to spend $125-billion over 10 years. He will run three “modest” deficits.
Not in recent history, either, have the senior teams around a federal prime minister and a provincial premier been so closely connected, both professionally and personally.
A senior Wynne aide described the team from Ontario helping out Mr. Trudeau as “massive.” His expectation is that many Queen’s Park Liberal staffers will end up in Ottawa on the Hill. “We’re happy about that,” he says. “They’re going to need good staff and we have good staff. We’ve been thinking of that possibility for a year.”
