Dalton McGuinty said yesterday he is stepping down as Ontario premier amid controversy over canceled power plants and an inability to implement budget cuts in his minority government.
McGuinty, after nine years as premier of Canada’s most populous province and 16 years as Liberal leader, said he chose to resign in order to allow his party to renew itself and to spend more time with his family.
