This is just my opinion, but I think it is the huge shifts on policy. There is more of an ideological difference between the different iterations of Kathleen Wynne than there is between the three parties. If someone is a centrist then they feel betrayed that Wynne won the 2014 election on a centrist platform and then veered sharply to the left. If someone is a leftist they are suspicious of her deathbed conversion. Politicians sometimes get away with a major shift like (Jean Chrétien comes to mind) but such a successful shift is usually accompanied by some sort of narrative (such as concern about the deficit during the Chrétien era) but with Wynne there has been no explanation.
