Right now, I'm really, really livid with Ontario Premier Kathleen Wynne.

And no, my anger doesn't stem from her fiscal policies, even though they're somewhere to the left of Hugo Chavez, nor does it stem from the way she made my hydro bills scarier to read than a Stephen King novel.

In fact, the reason for my infuriation is actually much more personal: Wynne made me look like a bad pundit.

How did she do this, you ask?

Well, as my regular readers know (Hi mom!) last week in this very space I wrote a column speculating as to what strategies the main political parties would employ in the last week of the Ontario election.

And when it came to the Liberals, I assured everybody that no matter how poorly Wynne was doing in the polls, she'd go down fighting.

My exact words were: "good political strategists never wave a white flag and the Liberals have lots of good political strategists."

Ha, so much for that theory.

As we all know by now, a few days ago Wynne not only waved a white flag, she hoisted it to the top of SS Liberal.

Declared Wynne: "I don't know who voters will choose but I am pretty sure that it won't be me."

So basically, Wynne admitted she was going to lose.

So I got it wrong.

But in my defense, never in my 30 years of working in the "politics industry" had I ever seen a political party leader on the campaign trail deliver what amounted to a "demotivational" speech.

I mean, let's face it, "All hope is lost" is not exactly a stirring slogan.

Mind you, I fully expect that, over the next few days, the Canadian media will spew out countless theories explaining why Wynne's gambit was actually deceptively brilliant, if only because the Canadian media tends to regard anything the Liberals do as deceptively brilliant.

As a matter of fact, I already saw one story in the media which quoted a political science professor who called Wynne's apparent concession a "clever" strategy, since it shows the Liberals are playing the long game.

The "long game" being that, by taking herself out of the picture, Wynne is making it easier for Ontarians to vote Liberal, since it's assumed, even though they might hate its leader, they still love the party.

It's an interesting hypothesis to be sure, but it has a few flaws.

First off, Wynne is still Liberal leader; she's still out there campaigning on a daily basis, so whatever political toxicity her leadership spews out, is still lingering in Ontario's electoral atmosphere.

Secondly, for the past few weeks the Liberals have bombarded the airwaves with an ad featuring a huge close up of Wynne's face.

That means, like it or not, for good or for ill, Wynne's political DNA is intertwined with the Liberal brand.

Besides, it seems to me, that by admitting she's out of the running, Wynne has essentially turned the Ontario election into a two party race.

This gives both the PCs and the NDP an opening.

The NDP's Andrea Horwath, for instance, can now say something like, "With Wynne gone, anyone who wants to stop the Donald Trump-like, neo-fascist, barbarian, Doug Ford, has but one option: Vote NDP"

Likewise, Ford can now say, "Wynne is out of the picture, so the choice is clear: it's either me, or Horwath and her Communist hordes."

The bottom line is, there doesn't seem to be a lot of motivation for anyone to vote for the Liberals, who are now officially a "lost cause."

At any rate, this is why Wynne's move, though bold, makes no sense to me.

But hey, I was wrong about Wynne in my last column, so maybe I'll be proven wrong again.

Although, I did get one thing right; I predicted she would throw a last minute "Hail Mary Pass."

I just didn't think she'd throw it to the wrong end zone.
