    And this is exactly what the libs and the medias are hoping for. A bunch of over confident celebrating Conservatives that won't bother to go voting because obviously "We won". While on the other side every students, welfare and get-for-free voters will show up.

    This is really bad!

    Not this time. Again, this time is different. PC Party membership has skyrocketed, so I'd expect Conservatives to be showing up at the polls.

    They still have to show up and vote, the odds are in their favour but nobody has defined choke quite as well as the Ontario Conservatives, even better than the Toronto Maple Leafs.

    It's gotten to the point that Canadians are fearing for their future, and kids and grand kids futures. Open borders, terrorists being integrated, taxes going up consistently, with absolutely no hope for the future under the horrendous leadership of the Liberals. Apparently 100% of collected corporate taxes go towards paying JUST the interest on Ontario's deficit. Soon all of our taxes will ONLY cover the interest. I'm pretty sure all these new Conservative members will be at the polls, with bells on.

    I remember Rae Days, 2 weeks of March break and a lot of pissed off teachers, but it seems as though they have short memories.
    Teachers haven't the common sense God gave a gnat......book smart,life stupid. Anyone who believes anything they see on social media are right up there with them. That's why Ontario really needs a Doug Ford at this juncture. One more leftist liberal government will wipe out the entire provincial economy and could quite possibly drag the rest of the nation down with them.

    I'll have to agree about the teachers comment, I mentioned before the guy I know who is a die hard leftie/socialist (his terms), his mortgage is 50% higher than when he bought the house 20+ years ago.

    Someone pointed out there is another way to get votes .... ... Public jobs again (probably unionized) go UP.

    The NDP or the Liebral party winning would be an economic, social and cultural suicide.

    By stating 50% you assume that all women are pro abortion. Definitely not the case. Some percentage certainly and probably a majority but that will be slanted somewhat based on demographics with the highest concentration of upset women in the 18-35 year old segment. This segment traditionally has poor voter turnout and in all probability the ones that do vote were not voting for Ford in the first place. The result is the net impact on the number of votes he will get is minimal either way.

    50% having an issue with a government being anti-abortion is probably a conservative number. Ontario as a population is not a bible thumping conservative stronghold, it is very much Liberal, they need to be pulling people away from Liberals, not pushing them back towards them with nonsense.

    Do some research before spouting nonsense. The split in Ontario is 49% anti 51% pro for abortion on demand under any circumstance. Bible thumping is largely irrelevant as compared to the other provinces we are smack dab in the middle with some being more some being less.

    That took 30 seconds to find and is from 2016. It and numerous other independent polls are widely available that confirm your statement as bunk and mine as fact. So in the big picture piss off half and make the other half happy. Net result is irrelevant like I said.
