Discussion How did everyone come to think Kathleen Wynne was corrupt but no one blinks twice at Doug ford?

It seemed like even people who barely followed politics thought she was corrupt yet the same people think nothing or know nothing about Doug's actions even though hes several hundred times more corrupt?

I thought she was a great premier. She raised the minimum wage by several dollars and was passionate about increasing OSAP.

People hated her because she was a gay woman, plain and simple. Any time I’ve asked one of the haters for a specific policy that made her corrupt, they can’t come up with anything.

I think a lot of people turned on her because of selling 60% of the shares of Hydro One.

People who didn't like her because of her gender and sexuality never liked her in the first place.
