Please call these out, as I correct them when I see them. They'll be more as election day nears. Granted, Ford is fertile ground for outrageous comments - but Liberal desperation has not and will not be a pretty sight. We'll all have to consider the source. At one time, Liberals AND Conservatives were somewhat trustworthy parties at both the Federal and Provincial level. They gave Canada well-deserved credit for stable governance. In general, they did what they said they would do, within reason. THESE provincial Liberals cannot be trusted. Putting aside the scandals and waste of the Lost Decade - it was only last year that Sousa said they would balance the budget for the foreseeable future because it wasn't fair to burden our children with debt. Nothing has changed other than their position in the polls as the election looms. You cannot trust what they say. As for Trudeau and THESE federal Liberals - their campaign promises were nothing but lies - each one crafted to attract a block of voters. Not only can you not trust them, you should never believe them. It's sad and shameful that it's come to this. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's entirely possible that Ontario's first look at Ford didn't go well. What were people expecting? Ford to come out on top and solve all our issues? I bet we get another term of Wynne.

capricorn Posted April 6, 2018 Report Share Posted April 6, 2018 This Liberal government has nine lives. The way things are going, Wynne might just die in office from old age. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Hardner Posted April 6, 2018 Report Share Posted April 6, 2018 I don't think so. The gap is too large. I'm betting on Ford to win, although if he screws up he could get a minority government. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just hope he has an alternate plan to replace carbon as an energy source. He has the opportunity to be a great premier if he makes the right choices. Why do people think we need a carbon tax. We produce 1.6% and with the natural cleansing of our own country forests ,we are a net producer of carbon. Sending billions to california does nothing for the environment. Why can't people understand that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd guess Ford minority government, Liberals haven't even started campaigning yet, Ford made the blunder of not having a media bus, so his smart comments will not be broadcasted, while Wynne will be on 6 and 11 pm news every night campaigning and at the African Canadian debate which Ford refuses to participate in. Ford will slowly lose support, NDP voters will shift to liberal for fear of conservative majority and Ford will predictably say something stupid in public when or if he releases a platform. The liberals tend to surge from behind in these electiions and Conservatives fall apart. I am sure the liberals have at least 1 week of scandals to release on Ford.

CTV is starting to suggest and float the idea that Ford is hiding from the press. He is because he has a pattern of making dumb gaffs, that is why he lost to perennial candidate Jon Tory. If Ford can avoid the media to election day, they might not catch him making a dumb enough comment or stepping on his dack. If he can do that, he might just win a minority government. It is a risk though, because if the media doesn't cover him, people will forget he is in the race, they cannot vote for someone whose policies are unknown and people will re-elect Wynne. Think of what it means to not even have a platform, he will be defenseless against liberal attacks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm out of the country right now but trying to keep up. I have not seen any similar flurry showing the more recent EKOS and Mainstreet polls showing no such thing. I only found out about them through the link. Have there been any mea-culpas from the original flurry? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boges Posted April 10, 2018 Report Share Posted April 10, 2018 Liberals will immediately dismiss any Forum result. Except when it shows a promising result I guess. DoFo really hasn't done anything to upset anyone other than that wouldn't vote PC anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
