I feel like a kid on Xmas eve. Tomorrow we rid ourselves of the Wynne government. They might not even retain party status and lose funding. Hopefully the voters haven't completely lost their minds and don't elect the NDP because they are doing so great out in BC. That should scare anybody with a brain. Make sure you vote and on June 9th we can start working on ridding the country of the other imbecile Trudough.
I feel like a kid on Christmas Eve who peeked and knows he's getting socks and underwear.
DING - DONG, the-witch-is-dead....
I have no use for the PC candidate in our riding but we have to vote BLUE regardless!
As we head to the polls today, I’m not sure we have cause to celebrate.
There are reasons populism is sweeping the globe. Brexit, Trump, Ford (or should be RF).
Ok, Wynne and the Liberals are toast. There is that. Had people on the left, the the Unions/public servants thought of anyone but themselves listened, at least once Drummond had to kick the lid off the can. Who knows where we would be today.
There are reasons why Wynne tried to bring in ORPP.
There are reasons why their platform includes raising taxes on anyone that grosses more than 75k...
Debt.......to......gdp
More real world stuff.
Statistics and trends since the 60s are pretty clear.
The combined impact of stagnant wages and increased taxation is killing the lower MC and down.
Some blame the 1%
It’s the upper quintile and greed that is to blame. The gap between the upper 20% (haves) and everyone ( have nots) else is widening.
The 20% want what the 15% have, the 15% want what the 10% have, the 10% want what the 5% have and the 5% want to join the 1%.
Where do people fall?
The mean duo income is 75k
If you gross say 75k before benefits your in the upper quintiles and are part of the problem. Drummond spelled that out to. If we actually want to fix things, make life better, gonna have to start paying for it. Raise revenue.
RF may be the best of the worst. It’s still a train wreck waiting to happen.

I am worried that many are undecided who to vote for and not vote today from the comments I am reading online.
We have had some spirited discussions about the provincial election. Whatever your political leanings, all of us need to get out and vote. Yesterday was the anniversary of D-Day and we owe it the people who died to protect the free world in conflicts past to exercise the gift they have entrusted to us.
The best we can hope for is a minority government. They would have to learn how to get along and none of more radical options all of the parties would be implemented.
More like Halloween .Quote:

I love how unbiased the CBC is on their coverage... in the one minute it has been on they brought up the law suite and are now talking to some commentators... one married to Trudeau's chief of staff and Olivia Chow..... and of course Olivia is giving a pitch of the benefit of Horwath.... shouldn't make much difference in the last 2 hours but she is sure doing a pitch.
P.S.
OOPS... there is a conservative, I walked to the kitchen to get some water and missed her answer, they just spent alot more time talking to the other two
I hr and 39 minutes to go then the Gong show starts.
Russian interference.....Russian interference.. start the investigation.....
Ontario votes were tampered with by the Russians...
Unless the NDP win and then it was perfect with no problems.
How about US based Tides interference....
Foreign funded Leadnow launches vicious attack on Doug Ford
http://brianlilley.com/foreign-funde...-on-doug-ford/
Anonymous group targeting Ford pulls its Facebook attack ads
http://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/face...tion-1.4695028
The groups, ProgressivePress, North 99, LeadNow and a bunch others were out there putting out as many lies and outright delusional message for the uninformed and gullible it was ridiculous. Following them on twitter let's you see just how criminally corrupt and outright ridiculous the lies they can create are but I sure with they would pass some legislation that made them accountable. If you can get charged for yelling "fire" in a theatre there should be some way to make them accountable but they can pull up stakes, rename and come back as another group in minutes with no accountability or responsibility!
P.S.
YEAH... shocking that the NDP radical that thought jobs were demeaning and Singh "F*** the Police" are ahead at this point ....
