ExFlyer Posted May 8, 2022 Report Posted May 8, 2022 (edited) So, Ontario is going to the polls. When Ford won last time, the world (well the GTA, Centre of the Universe anyway) was going to implode. The outrage was deafening. Now Ontario has the opportunity to punt him out. And bring in Andrea Horwath to fix things? Or better yet, bring back the Liberals with Steven Del Duca and all the great Liberal policies form yesteryear? Or maybe, like the feds, form a NDP/Liberal coalition? The again, there is always the Greens with Mike Schreiner who says he will put a electric vehicle in everybody's Christmas stocking? They are all promising a lot. Whatcha think?

Nationalist Posted May 9, 2022 Report Posted May 9, 2022 (edited) Last Friday our local MP (of the NDP flavour) came to our house looking for support. I sat in the background listening to him chat-up my wife, who is a very conservative person. As he handed my wife a pamphlet of things he claims he'd do once elected, he said, "So I can count on your support in the coming election then?" My wife was in the process of saying "Yes", and then noticed the logo on the pamphlet. "Oh no." She said. "We all only vote Conservative here." I took that opportunity to join my lovely wife at the door...to laugh in this jack asses face with her. Edited May 9, 2022 by Nationalist Quote Its so lonely in m'saddle since m'horse died.

Almost voted out of existence and then got votes only because the Liberals lost so badly. Why? The Federal NDP leader loses twice and is ousted but Horwath just keeps on going like the energizer bunny LOL So far the Horwath and Liberal Del Duca are promising the most. Del Duca crapped on Ford for a buck a beer and now he is offering a buck a ride. I was not a Ford fan but, looking at his competition, I am not so sure he will not get back in.

If the 30% of Ontarians who rent woke up and realized that the NDP wants to turn the clock back on heavy rent control they would have a majority government in June. I wonder why that does not happen.

None of the Canadian parties are fascist of course. Ford was a populist, even, and as such it's a little weird to see the NFCs feast on the ample flesh of one of their own. They will do it though.

They are cannibals ! Yeah, some folks need to call names. Be it Fascist or Nazi or whatever. Seems it is their way of trying to be smart or superior. In Ontario you have Andera Horwath, a 5 time loser with a Bob Rae (liberal interim leader too) albatross around her neck and still peddling his philopsophy Steven Del Duca, the illegitimate (or maybe legitimate?) child of McGuinty and Wynne also still peddling their philosophy. Ford, former drug dealer (say some), former Mayor of the centre of the universe and present premier through the greatest worldwide pandemic in recent (if not all) history during 1/2 of his tenure Which one has the credibility to carry on? In my mind, Ford seems the illogical choice. 1 Quote You are entitled to your opinion, but you are not entitled to tell me what mine should be.

Most of the developers are significant PC donors. I am sure most developers are also significant (fill in any political party) donors. Businesses of all stripes donate to all political parties just to butter their bread. Lobbyists are also apolitical. Whomever sits on the throne gets visits from lobbyists. Even if not sitting on the throne, lobbyists are active to get anyone on their side to move whatever project they have forward. That is the entire reason for lobbying. For sure Ford has lobbyists, as did McGunty and Wynne and even Horwath gets funds and lobbying action (primarily unions ). As for land, most land is owned by private persons or businesses or developers.

No party should ever run a candidate that was young once. Who knows what they did when they were young and immature.!! That would solve a great problem for conservatives and liberals....no one running and legislatures would be empty except for the righteous NDP.
