The Liberal party lost two by-elections Thursday that were considered crucial tests in public opinion for Kathleen Wynne’s premiership and her party’s direction.

The party lost Niagara Falls, a riding its held for a decade, to the NDP while the Progressive Conservatives held on to Thornhill.

What that means for a spring election is up to the opposition parties come budget time.
