2018 Ontario Provincial Election Discussion

Did Heather and Gerry have a sign?

lol...The King refers to:
Canada's Richest People: Gerry Schwartz & Heather Reisman

I was cycling through there one day two years back to get over to the Don Valley, sweaty, browned and vital, and who should jog past me crisp, clean and clinical? Gerry...I chuckled. The Prince and the Pooper (me).

Speaking of lawn signs of "notable persons" - Margaret Atwood (Admiral Rd.) - who has publicly supported Elizabeth May - has a sign for Jessica Bell.

Probably justified as 'Strategic voting'.

I still see, contrary to some other posters' retorts, the value of voting to ensure a successful coalition against the PCs. This would entail Dippers and Libs voting for Greens in some ridings (Guelph is especially ripe) and Greens voting for Dippers in others.

The 'coalition question' is still to be broached, but the time is growing close to do it.

Elizabeth May isn't running for MPP in that riding so it's not really even strategic voting.

?
Besides everything else, she Federal, and already elected.

My point is she's most prominently associated with the Green Party.

This ain't going to hurt Jessica Bell's election chances at all:

University-Rosedale is probably the only riding in the province where getting arrested for environmental activism-turned-civil-disobedience is a plus.

"Two Conservative sources told the Star that Ford’s platform not only lacks a fiscal plan but also wasn’t formally approved by the party’s policy committee, as is required by the PC constitution."

A friend said he saw an NDP sign on Cluny Drive. Probably one of the kids who transfered from Harvard Business to Sociology.

hahaaaaa
I'll have to check it out for myself tomorrow....have another laugh as I remember your post.

It shouldn't. What was that Hitler quote one of her comrades, er, colleagues posted on FB?

Something about if you don't like a rule, follow it, then reach for the top and change it. (Something I completely agree with, by the way....don't give a toss who said it, it's true).

Wait, no, I guess she's not behind that completely anyway seeing as she skipped the bit about following the rule. They could be quite a pair at QP!

Anyway, if the law is an ass, fuck it....as I always say.

All I have to say about this is LOL.

"Trust me".

My dad, who was previously fine with voting PC, now thinks that all of the choices suck. He isn't happy with the lack of a costed platform and doesn't like Doug Ford.

Tell him to vote Libertarian then....they are always my second choice.

Yeah, she was (is?) a member from what I remember when I was one.
