Typo posted:imagine a system in which trillium gets to hold everything hostage unless w/e weird soCon agenda they want gets passed because they are basically the 7% of parliament which the government needs to pass anything Or maybe two major parties will have to, and I know this is completely hosed up and unbelievable, cooperate and compromise with each other.

Wow I'm truly scared about 7% of the seats going to socons, what a truly outlandish scenario in FPTP, I'm sure the problem is that and not the sheer willingness of the right to work with the far right if their power is meaningfully threatened..

Like trillium as a party will lsat exactly as long as it takes for the tories to put 40 knives in Ford's back and then we're back to a scenario where the people who run trillium can again have a chance of having a parliamentary majority backing them.

It turns out Rob was the brains. Chew on that one for a minute then have a sensible chuckle at how we're gonna do in Ontario for the next four years.

A blustery incompetent fool is preferable to somebody capable and intelligent leading the Tories. My concern is that even by the low standards of Canadian politics this year's crop of Tory candidates seem egregiously corrupt and eager to sell out.

There are two wings to the OPC as I see it, the corrupt and the social conservative true believers. Doug Ford is not the strong leader that can hold these factions together. A conservative government is going to be a complete mess. Here's hoping for a minority government, if only so I can hear Doug accuse the NDP of hating minorities.

Every photo and press release they seem to dragged ethnic people into the shot and yelled, "GET A PHOTO OF ME WITH THE COLOUREDS". I'm ethnic and kinda wish they'd stop using ethnic people as window dressing for their photo-ops. I know that it happens more during elections with all parties, but now this poo poo's getting obvious. It reminds me of those photos that I'd see with Tea Party Conservatives posing with random black people at rallies holding signs that say, "SEE? NOT RACIST." melon cat fucked around with this message at 04:34 on Jun 2, 2018 |

Yeah her kid looks like a complete loving loser. Dunno what the deal is with certain cliques apparently trying to look as bad as possible. Fat, creepy tattoos, dumb hair, cheek piercings. I'd 100% mark him as a "live with Mom and Dad and spend all of my part time cart pushing money on my sweet tats instead of paying rent" type. Glad to hear that's not the case but just lol if you aren't feeling some second hand embarrassment looking at that "ALONE" tat. Christ. I'm saying this as a 29 year old progressive who's the only person in his social circle without multiple tattoos. I can only imagine what boomers and older must think of him.

In rural Ontario the overriding mood is anger. Continue to suck and blame everyone for your problems Renfrew county. At least yakabuski is a decent guy as far as PC mpps go.

That ad seems terrible though because you're also advertising that NDP are the best bet to beat Doug Ford. The Liberal advertising engine has really poo poo the bed this cycle spectacularly in a way that I'm excited to check every day to see how they've made it worse.
