The polls are coming in, the Conservatives are dropping and the NDP rising, make sure you get out there and vote, assume nothing.
The Conservatives are well on their way to another historic collapse, 16 days to go.

Yes I agree that getting out to vote is important.
But generally lower voter turnout favours the PC's.
The somewhat older voters tend to vote more often and support the PC's more.
The younger voters are traditionally less likely to vote.
Also they do not tend to be big PC suporters on the average.
Voting isn't enough. Join a party, donate, work on campaigns.
For those of us who work on campaigns voting is what we do when the hard work is done.
I honestly would love to have enough time to sleep at night, let alone fill that time with campaigns, but I will be voting, I will never miss a vote.Quote:

We will declare Ontario a Sanctuary Province,” page 11 of the NDP platform. NDP looks like an even worse choice than the Libs and that takes alot of effort.

There are still accomplices to the corruption and waste and greed of the Libs and NDP and there is too much at stake to split votes with other parties so ..... and as usual the NDP candidates have shown themselves to be radicals or worse.

GET OUT AND VOTE Conservative, I will!
The NDP is definitely surging but mostly at the expense of the liberals which based on polling could lose party status. The PC's still sit at near 90% chance of a majority. By Election Day it will be tight but I think the Dippers and Libs will split the left vote.
Terry the Ipsos poll released today has the NDP & PC tied.
Of decided voters it has the NDP with a slight edge at 37% compared to the PC's 36%.
What concerns me about Doug Ford is the lack of comprehensive platform released. So far we have had Ford state he would do this and do that. A election platform is a metric to be used by the electorate to judge to worthiness of a party to govern and as a yardstick to measure a government's accountability when in power. A series of statements is counter-productive because Ford could end up promising two very different things.
One thing no one wants to touch is how to pay down the debt. For years certain posters (JBen for example) have been stating how bad it is. Right now we pay 12 billion a year in interest with low interest rates. That number will increase when interest rates rise. It is the fourth biggest expenditure in the budget. How much longer before Ontarians think that is a problem. We let this happen. All of us because we didn't say no to governments running deficits. That has to change. We need to fix this before we get to a fiscal equivalency of Greece. For those of you who support the NDP and Liberals, how much better would our programs be with a 12 billion dollars a year increase. For those of us who support PC, how much better would we be with a portion of 12 billion dollars a year in our pockets.
We have to start asking for fiscal responsibility from our politicians. Shifting our glory days to the next generation isn't good enough.
If people vote NDP then they deserve what they get which is no different than what we have been getting from the Liberals. Unfortunately people have really bad memories and forget the likes of Bob Rae. Can't fix stupid.Quote:
