That would be a bit difficult here. I've seen almost no PC signs. OTOH, I did notice that someone had put an NDP sign on the church's boulevard; must investigate that, because I am quite sure it was unsanctioned.
 
I'd say Truppe has the most signs of anyone right now, though the others are coming on strong. She was like that federally, too. Signs everywhere. I really wish we could get some kind of amendment passed to the Elections Act allowing for restrictions on signs on public property. We usually end up with signs every 50 or so metres along Fanshawe by election day, often from more than one candidate, and I fail to see how that helps anyone. One sign per direction per intersection or kilometre of boulevard should be plenty (by direction, I mean eastbound, westbound, etc.)

Excess is the thing today as we are in the rush to do something in ...
 
I do sorta wish they'd add and subtract a little more carefully before releasing platforms. This is the sort of s**t that should be caught way early by more junior people and fixed right away.
 
Isn’t it sad though that we are being offered treats and gifts , with our own money, to vote for someone

Gosh I would vote for someone who would say

“ Ontario is in rough shape. Our credit rating has been down graded again. we pay more for interest on our debt than any program. Industry has left in droves. We have to get our house in order. We need to make tough choices and stop spending on things we simply can’t afford. Some programs are going to have to be cut and the next five years are going to be hard. We are going to have to ask the population to step up, “

But no, the message is always “ we are in bad shape, elect me, I will fix it and give you all these nice things as well. Don’t worry it won’t hurt”

Is not polity and etude of extremes ... built on err?

We need more industry and get rid of the relaxation syndrome ... drives people into alien domains ... mental states?

Stress is good?
 
Pleased to have had an NDP flyer dropped off at our front door this morning. That party was slower than others in declaring a candidate for our riding.

Wait what.

All leaders should always be looking for continuous improvement and change.

I am missing something, why is a platform of positive change bad?

You mean our leaders should have a scientific attitude and be willing to change their minds as new data comes in?

Or more like to be open to change for change's sake (like Progressives seem to like)?

Ontario PCs would get one-seat majority, based on new poll: simulation | Globalnews.ca

So the short version seems to be that it may be premature for Doug Ford to be writing his victory speech, but Kathleen Wynne should probably start updating her CV.

I honestly feel Kathleen has no chance. It's a shame for the Liberals. They could'v won again if she'd done the right thing and stepped down. As things look now, we're in for a PC government with NDP opposition.

PC's 41%...closest is NDP 30%. Given how little time there is, I don't think Kumbaya is going to help. Ford's in the pocket. I was pondering lately though that this may be an opportunity to put the Greens on the map. What say you?

What kinds of experience do the ON Greens have?

None whatsoever and likely won't be getting any. They just don't have that high a profile here compared to BC though I see more and more people taking them seriously as an alternative this time. And with the Libs numbers in freefall, who knows? Maybe the Greens could surprise and scoop a riding somewhere.

The numbers ninjafaery quoted are out of date now (she posted a few days back), BTW. It's currently more like 40 PC to 35 or so NDP. The NDP could still challenge for government, IOW.
 
Politics is so statistically unstable ... considering the support system's structure!

That is us the pagan know nothing's ... devoid they say at top!

Quite possibly Doug Ford has found a new way to lose from ahead.

I know, I know. It is difficult to believe that Doug Ford could improve on anything but I wouldn't count him out just yet.

He did manage to lose to John Tory while riding the coat-tails of his fumbling Brother and there was sympathy vote factored in there as well.

The PCPO is a shambles. Many of their candidates are avoiding all candidate meetings. Others are having embarrassing social media posts waved about only some of which get the toss by the party. On top of that you have another candidate step down after being dismissed from a job after a huge security breach shows that some 60, 000 people had private data stolen. He is going to clear his name, eventually. It is suggested that this stolen data may have been used by a significant number of candidates to win their riding nominations by nefarious means. Contested nominations and the parachuting of preferred candidates despite a pledge not to.

The man has been working overtime to make sure nobody remembers the name of Tim "Who's that?"
