Liberal Premier Kathleen Wynne’s lawsuit against former Ontario PC leader Tim Hudak and Tory MPP Lisa MacLeod is over, but we don’t know the details of how or why.

Wynne launched the $2-million suit suit last April after Hudak and MacLeod repeatedly implied she directly oversaw the destruction of documents related to the gas plant scandal, and repeatedly called her corrupt. The heated atmosphere at Queen’s Park in the lead up to then minority Liberals’ fall and the spring election exacerbated the tensions.

Hudak and MacLeod both pledged to fight it. The latter, never shy with her words, suggested the Liberal premier was trying to send a Liberal chill around Queen’s Park and she wouldn’t be “muzzled.”

“I’m not going to back down,” Hudak said in a press conference before the election began. Both the Tories and the provincial New Democrats tried to make the vote a referendum on Liberals scandals and corruption but it didn’t stick after Hudak pledged to cut 100,000 public servants.
