  1. PC 38.0% NDP 36.5% LIB 19.1% https://newsinteractives.cbc.ca/onvotes/poll-tracker/
  2. Minimum wage gets hiked up to $15 per hour. What kind of jobs pay minimum wage? Like flippin' burgers......and fastfood cashiers.....or WalMart greeters? If you've invested in education, like as an ECE for example.......would you be happy to get the same pay-grade as a burger flipper? Of course not. Are teachers going to be happy to be along the same ball-park as an ECE? There'll be that ripple effect. We'll just have to get used to seeing more of this: Workers at some 60 daycare centres in Quebec begin 2-day strike https://www.ctvnews.ca/business/workers-at-some-60-daycare-centres-in-quebec-begin-2-day-strike-1.3890071 Ontario Teachers Strike https://www.huffingtonpost.ca/news/ontario-teachers-strike/ School bus drivers east of Toronto begin strike action http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/toronto/bowmanville-school-bus-cancellation-1.4585585 If you've got a Premier like Horvath, who announced she'll never use the back-to-work legislation........what do you think will happen?
  3.  

    Do you want a SOCIALIST government?

     

    Do you want to end up with the worst of all -  Socialist/Liberal coalition?

     

    Think about that.   Don't vote with your emotions.   Vote sensibly.   Don't base your decision around your hatred for the guy next door. 

       This is about your own house - not the neighbour's.

      No need to tell us, it's obvious every time you post.

      Ha ha. Trumpy guy is clever.

      Obviously you're not, and you're not afraid to show it. Well done.

  4. Ontarians, the question is simple. DO YOU WANT A SOCIALIST GOVERNMENT?
  5. Maybe we're now beginning to see what Trump had initiated? https://www.thedailybeast.com/lgbt-alarm-as-trump-signs-religious-liberty-exec-order https://www.cnn.com/2017/09/07/politics/justice-department-colorado-cake/index.html
  6. And, if he does a good job at it........the federal Liberals will be in big trouble in the coming election. According to Nick Nanos, just the word "Liberal" makes people see red.....no pun intended.
  7. Just because it comes from a family member, does not guarantee that truth is present. What I question is the timing of this lawsuit. It smacks of extortion/blackmail! It also raises the question that someone from either one of the two parties (Liberals/NDP), could've gotten to the widow, and maybe a deal was struck. If it's true that the widow has addiction problems - it wouldn't take much to get her. It's easy to throw family under the bus - especially in-laws. Heck, these days, mothers do it even to their own unborn, for convenience sake!
  8. You're not getting it. What good is $14 bucks? heck, you can even aspire to raise it to $30 minimum wage! What good would that do if you can't find a job??? All you do is provide a determined motivation for big corporations to turn to modern technology to replace people! We see it at WalMart - those check-out rows of machines! They're gonna do it at fastfood joints, wait and see! Robotics will also play a big part in some of them, like the robot that flips 300 burgers! Big corporations will be willing to invest millions in modern tech. Heck, just getting rid of the Union, is enough incentive for them.
  9. Blackmail. Even big law firms can resort to that.
  10. Getting too report-happy, are we? You seem cranky today.
  11. If that's a dig at Doug....well, it's not the same. Doug isn't a parent of Rob. I don't know what's going on in Horvath's home.....so I best not get into that.
  12. Is that photo above.....the real thing? It hasn't been altered ?
  13. Conservatives - get active in social media and aggressively counter the last-minute effort by desperate socialist-lovers!

      Now we're getting somewhere. So they didn't say they didn't believe it. You just made that up. They said the timing is suspicious. I would agree. I don't think the timing is a coincidence.

      Now, after misrepresenting what they survey said, why did you fail to report where the survey came from? Not exactly a reputable polling firm, and you wanted to hide that? Maybe a twitter survey or something? lol

      You really are a sad case...

      Yes, but also undeniably correct.

  14. https://www.cp24.com/news/mainstreet-poll-ontario-pc-party-on-pace-to-win-majority-government-1.3959626 People are so tired of dirty politics - and the timing of this lawsuit is an eye-roller! I don't think anything will stick at this point. .....but, we won't be complacent. get active in social media, and counter.
  15. Let me just say again.... Doug Ford had stood by his brother even during the crack scandal (even to the detriment of his own reputation) - I can't believe he'll be screwing up Rob's children. More like he's trying to protect their interest (if their mother indeed has drug addiction issues).
  16. Global News.......not giving the full account.  

    Leaving out crucial information by editing the message of Diane Ford.

    https://globalnews.ca/news/4252483/renata-ford-estate-lawsuit-doug-ford-randy-ford/

     

    Compare with this:

    “It is heartbreaking that Renata has chosen to bring forward these false and baseless allegations against our family, right in the middle of the provincial election campaign,” said the statement from Diane Ford.

    “As a family, our one goal is to ensure Rob’s children are cared for and their financial futures are secure.

    Renata has serious struggles with addiction, and our hope is that she will accept help for the sake of herself and my grandchildren.”

      You can't attack her for being an irresponsible drug addict and ignore that he fought to keep an irresponsible drug addict in power when he should have resigned.

      And Doug seems to think having power trumps everything. He didn't seem too worried about Rob's children when he was happy to let his drug issues slide to keep the mayorship.

    3. BubberMiley

      BubberMiley

      How is his track record for responsible government not a salient point?

      @Angus. Wynne has already used it as a political attack which is disturbing.   While Ford was not my choice he's what we have and certainly no reason to vote for higher taxes and or more corruption. Ad to these increases carbon taxes so would be a disaster for Ontario

  17. How can it be Doug's fault if someone files a lawsuit 3 days before the election? It's that kind of mentality that encourages extortionists! Anyone can extort a politician by simply making threats! An allegation can kill a career - we know that! Look at MeToo! A politician is likely to pay up whether he's innocent or not, to save his career. Now, why would Doug Ford not simply pay up if the allegations are true? That he refuses to, could also mean that......... ...........he's a man of principles. Of course, we don't know the details. https://ca.news.yahoo.com/pc-leader-doug-ford-faces-233138029.html But it makes me question why file a lawsuit now........3 days before the election? Why wait until now? I read the edition of Global News. It edited the statement of Doug's mother. It didn't mention the part about the widow's struggle with drug addiction. That information is crucial. I suspect Global News to be biased. https://globalnews.ca/news/4252483/renata-ford-estate-lawsuit-doug-ford-randy-ford/ Here is a piece from the Ottawa Citizen. http://ottawacitizen.com/news/national/reevely-doug-ford-sued-by-brothers-widow-accused-of-siphoning-inheritance
  18. The Liberals were supposed to reveal another audio tape of Ford this morning.....what became of that?  Did I miss it?

  19. Here's the Supreme Court ruling: https://www.cnn.com/2018/06/04/politics/masterpiece-colorado-gay-marriage-cake-supreme-court/index.html
  20. $15  burger flipper......

     

    Robot chef cooks 300 burgers a day

    .....say goodbye to burger flipping.

  21. Read the OP again...........and ponder why antifa is the anti-facist.
  22. First Amendment The First Amendment guarantees freedoms concerning religion, expression, assembly, and the right to petition. https://www.law.cornell.edu/constitution/first_amendment How appropriate. The rally by a First Ammendment advocacy group, being stifled by Antifa. "Antifa," stands for ANTI-FASCIST. http://www.foxnews.com/us/2018/06/03/portland-sees-bloody-fighting-as-antifa-activists-storm-patriot-prayer-rally.amp.html Now we see its true form. Antifa............. is the fascist!
  23. Wynne is simply gunning to stop a PC majority. The Liberals aim to hold the balance of power. With a PC minority, the Liberals and NDP can form a coalition. That's a real highly likely possibility, since she's almost as left as a socialist! Horvath will make a deal with her. We'll end up with the bad, AND the worse! Together, as a team! Doomsday for Ontario. Btw, you can hike the minimum wage to $30 by then.....what good will it do when there aren't any employment to be found?
  24. Trade war. Every country for himself. The question is: Are Canadians prepared for the hurting? For how long?
