infernal machines posted:Albert Einstein? That raises an important question: If Albert Einstein were still alive to this day as a Canadian citizen in Ontario, who would he vote for? Maybe that should be a campaign slogan. Vote NDP! If Albert Einstein Were Still Alive to This Day as a Canadian Citizen in Ontario, He'd Vote For Us!

I don't know what Albert Einstein would think about a party leaning against nuclear power. Single biggest turn off with the ONDP. Luckily they don't have the means to transition us away from it though..

He doesn't actually know anything about statistics, his claim to fame is registering a website imitating Nate Silver's 538 and people mistaking him for an expert as a result. He's hilariously wrong all the time, partly because he doesn't really know what he's talking about and partly because the kind of polling Nate Silver relies on to make accurate predictions in the US doesn't exist in Canada.

Eric Grenier just predicted that I'm the new Prime Minister. Time to bring back Harvey's diced onions and ban pickup trucks for non-commercial use. According to polls one of these two is incredibly popular.

there's an outside chance of a NDP minority polls are lovely but they seem consistent in saying NDP and PC ties for popular vote, so if you assume NDP needs +4 to +6 to actually form the government and the poll's MoE is 5% underestimating NDP vote they can take this

Jesus, the fake CRA scammers are really eager to phone me today. Two calls and one voicemail (from after I blocked the number, because apparently that doesn't block it so much as send it directly to voicemail). Who falls for this loving poo poo? It's not even remotely plausible.
