Liberials are the definition of the dumbass "Socially Liberial, Fiscally Conservative".

This province voted to directly make people like me poorer. Next time some Ford Voter bitches about bat costumer service, that's karma.

Oh yea, OPG bills are just going to go up, but somehow that will be the fault of environmentalists or something for preventing coal plans from being opened or something. I'm sure the Sun will stop bitching about the salaries of OPG employees suddenly.

Nah, going to blame PC voters just as much for effectively voting for a fat unqualified dipship because he might lower taxes or get them cheaper beer.

Never not blame cons. Libs can be dipshits too, dont get me wrong.

Welcome to the Populist wave. I'm truly sorry. No snark, just sympathy. I lived through the Klein years, and I'm sure we can make it through the Ford regime. I just hope he's ineffectual, at least.

Yea my riding the Dipper got 2x the vote that the Lib incumbant got, and if you added the Con and the Libertarian (lol) candidate you'd still not beat her. Still only 1/3rd of possible voters here voted.

Not really. He hasn't even served a day. Like again I know this sub forum loves to exaggerate thing a lot but I'm talking like real stuff when it happens. Endless bad and baleful full throttle racist policy being enacted and sanctioned stuff, not just antics and beer fests.

Like pretending that the libs aren't a part of the right is why we always have morons repeatingthe "vote liberal tactically" mantra even though the federal government is basically just a bad toupee away from being Harper's third term.

The Ontario Liberals are and were way better than the federal ones actually. They're just a little too deep into selling public assets and buying elections with terrible policies.

For all Harper's faults you can't really call him a populist. If anything he kept the populists bottled up most of the time, and when he tried to unleash some populism in 2015 with things like the barbaric cultural practices hotline it failed hard

That's a worse take than the people right now telling wynne it's not her, it's us. The liberals we used to have were cautious and feared losing enough to not brazenly sell things off and actually provide us some value. The ones we had now were soft and arrogant, like genghis khan's grandkids. Plus Trudeau bought a fuckin oil pipeline just so he double the size and sell it. Terrible take. Drink some water.

Libs still leading or won 8 seats, Wynne looks good but 3 out of 5 others are in the low hundreds. We can do this COME ON

It's cool because then you can say that any criticism of what you're saying is a breach of free speech.

Oh wait no this doesn't apply to things that hurt tory feefees.

Also crossing fingers hard for the libs to suffer like Ahab, dying as they manage to harpoon something better and greater than them to death out of petty revenge.

The sex ed thing seems to be a huge issue in certain communities. I know a several people who are all first gen Canadians whose parents came from south east Asia and they all voted for Ford specifically to stop the sex ed.
