I’ll never understand why people disliked Rae days. It was better than losing your job entirely. What I see here is how the 20% liberal support is gonna split a lot of votes and give the PCs a majority.

lol. Yes, a bunch of "anarchists" smashed up some shops, why won't the head of the NDP and the MPP for the area stand up for them? Can you believe she denounced wanton acts of vandalism? Why wasn't she down there with them, putting a brick through the front of a doughnut shop in solidarity? infernal machines fucked around with this message at 00:55 on May 25, 2018 |

Is she going to denounce other "anarchist" actions like the 8 hour work day? She isn't any better than the Proud Boys who tried to cash in on reactionary sentiment.

I used to know a guy from Sudbury who thought that "Rae days" meant that Bob Rae declared a provincial holiday in his own name as though he was a Stalinist dictator. Yes, this was an adult. Dude would get enraged at the mention of his very name.

Don't forget how her million dollar brain genius consultants told her she didn't have to actually campaign. Just put an Iowa filter on your snaps and do some dabs with Katy Perry or whatever, it's fine

infernal machines posted:The polls as a general bellwether of voter sentiment are probably accurate, it's just that information cannot be used to make seat projections with any degree of accuracy. It's not really the pollsters that are the problem so much as charlatans claiming to know anything more than which way the wind is blowing. it seem the basic story is NDP consolidating dissatisfied liberal votes which make sense and the PC having a little bit of doubt cuz FORD isn't nearly as charismatic as TRUMP and the anti-mattering field doesn't apply to him. But I don't trust polls enough to actually give accurate margins on PoV let along seats.

I can share some details from the 'battlefield' for the Ontario election, for what it's worth. I was brought out from Alberta to Ontario to manage an ONDP campaign in Southwestern Ontario. The incumbent is a PC and the ONDP took 2nd here in the 2014 provincial. The Liberals here are dead and are running a nobody as their candidate. We've been hearing from past PC voters that they like the local PC MPP but can't stand Doug Ford and many seem to be either coming our way. I ran out of our first sign order last weekend and we can barely keep up with demand. We finally got our 2nd order of 1000 signs today, of which 100 are already accounted for, and I'm getting 10 walk-ins a day to take signs. When I first arrived last week, my instructions from HQ were basically that we're a 'Tier 3' campaign, so just wave the flag for the benefit of ONDP incumbents in neighbouring ridings and don't do anything stupid. Now they're starting to pour resources into my riding, letting me hire paid canvassers, and sending people over from the neighbouring ridings that they think are a lock. The PC campaign here seems to be in panic mode. The PC incumbent thought he'd cruise to an easy victory and get a cabinet post but now they're pissing their pants. Really makes you wonder how different this would have gone with Christine Elliot at the helm.

Now the guy who bled the Denver Post or those people who ate that SF newspaper alive and use it as a techbro butt rag, those we need to worry about.

Oh hey, I was going to register for an absentee ballot but apparently you can only do that if you moved away less than 2 years ago. Cool. There's an exception for attending an educational institution but I assume that means studying, not working. It would be nice if there were some clarity somewhere.

Powershift posted:They have 2 guys on video bringing a bomb in. Crazy. I could see this going about 7 different ways still. They targeted a restaurant so you have to wonder if its business/mob related. But then its an indian restaurant so you wonder if the attackers are race motivated. But then it still could just be anti-western terrorism too. Sounds like no one was too seriously hurt at least, probably a very amateur made bomb.

Been to that restaurant a couple times, living just up the street on hurontario. Luckily there’s a fire station and two hospitals pretty close to that intersection.

Why? I think this is super needed to get the strategic voting “just please no Doug Ford” off the fence and into the NDP camp. My mom’s riding is basically Liberal / PC, so she was very much going to vote Liberal because the alternative seemed to be PC. If The NDP surge and it’s obvious, she will probably change her voting intention.

Because two weeks is a lot of time to maintain that kind of lead, especially when you're now the target for both parties.
