It would be absolutely hilarious if they all ended up out of office before Trudeau, but for some reason, Ontario has the memory of a goldfish when it comes to Dougie.

Yup, but, oh no! Don’t forget the Rae Days!! eye roll
Rae days were actually a great idea, don’t fire anyone able give everyone a long weekend every other week. Sure it’s a 10% paycut for everyone but it’s better than a 10% workforce cut and people’s hourly rates remained the same so it’s not like their work is worth less.
Yeah it was a genius solution and it worked really well to avoid job loss.
Well apparently all Ontarians care about is getting beer at corner stores and receiving $200 cheques!
He’s dismantling healthcare, but I got $200! There’s no way this could backfire!

The degens from upcountry.
Damn, I didn’t realize MacLean’s had leaned so hard in to the fear-mongering.
Just look at all those sub-headlines trying to scare you while they show you “the resistance”
It’s a definite vibe in the more respectable media, lately. Here’s the BBC headline on our recent slight walkback of the immigration target, due to a severe housing crisis, with the goal of avoiding a possible backlash against immigration before there is one:
It’s like a photo of grifters and conmen. Can 1/2ish of Canada really be that blind?
They can’t see the van for the candy.
Ontarians saw Rob Ford and how fucked up he is and how he was a crack smoking drunk ass clown, with his brother there was always beside him almost as fucked up as he was and decided “yep, I’m gonna put his brother in charge of this whole province”.
They got exactly what they voted for. And now they regret it?
And now they regret it?
Based on what? His unfavourable a may be high, but I don’t know because I haven’t bothered to check because it’s irrelevant. Ford’s greatest political assets were 1. An [in]famous name, 2. Arriving on the scene at just the right time, 3. Ontarian’s general apathy towards provincial politics and a strong tendency towards status quo, and 4. Not having to deal with any competent opposition.
If an election were help today he would win again.
- Not having to deal with any competent opposition.
Or opposition that was just competent enough to cock block each other resulting in a PC win for the riding and thus a majority government with ~30% of the popular vote
ikr? And they re-elected him!
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤡🤡🤡🤡
PCPO got a majority with 40% of the votes, with a 43.5% turnout, that’s something like 17.4% of all eligible voters. I’ve seen people say that oh Horwath was uninspiring etc etc, their (the NDP) platform sounded pretty good to me and again, you vote for your local rep in our system, not the party leader (unless you lived in Horwath’s riding).
Be real, I don’t personally care about how inspiring a politician is, I’d rather they have a good platform and hold people accountable.
The “blame provincial responsibilities on the federal government, while complaining loudly about federal overreach” crew
