Too late. Both Crombie and Stiles prioritized their personal ambitions over the Provonce’s welfare. Together they’d have rid the Province of Ford, but both were selfish and short-sighted.

Do what needs to be done. By first, people, don’t be fooled by Ford and his early election call.

YES! GET IT TOGETHER! We can't beat Cons anymore because NDP, Liberals, Greens just keep splitting votes. It makes it almost USELESS for us to try and is discouraging. GET IT TOGETHER.

Our archaic FPTP electoral system is not democratic.
Therefore we need to vote strategically and take away Ford's majority.
We then demand that the NDP, Green and Liberals move forward with establishing a Citizen's Assembly for electoral reform.

Yes, this election we do but, our archaic legacy parties still need to get together because I am sick of Cons having majorities in a country that is mostly centrist or left. I don't think having this many parties on "our side" is smart at all.

IF we can take away Ford's majority by voting strategically in close ridings, then the next step is to demand that the other parties support a Citizen's Assembly on electoral reform. Electoral reform can't be in the hands of any one party. Follow https://FairVote.ca

If they don't and we end up with Ford AND PP. I'm done. I'm not going to donate and bother.

I was all for this but, I want majorities since we ARE a majority. I want them to join forces. Period.

Denmark has a proportional representation electoral system Denmark is ranked one of the world's happiest countries.They have free universal health care and free education. Denmark has not elected a majority government since 1902. NETFLIX has two fictional series about Danish politics called BORGEN.

It is the 2 major parties (CON and LIB) who have been blocking electoral reform They know that under FPTP they have the chance to be handed 100% of the power. To change to a proportional representation system would mean that going forward they would always need to offer what voters want to get votes

thereallsc.bsky.social•3 hours ago

A multi-party system is not the issue. The issue is that Canada is still using the archaic FPTP electoral system that hands 100% of the power to a party that gets 45% of the vote. MOST democracies have ditched FPTP! We need electoral reform to a proportional representation system. Follow https://FairVote.ca

annedf.bsky.social•3 hours ago

Plus my issue with this is that Trudeau could not get support for it. NDP and Liberals merging wouldn't take some lengthy process. We can't wait. Maybe do one first for the short term and then the other. I don't know but, THIS is not working.

donlafrance1.bsky.social•3 hours ago

In Ontario that’s going to cost me public education and public health and the conservatives are only going to have 40% of the vote to do it!

thereallsc.bsky.social•1 hour ago

No one party should get to choose the electoral system. https://FairVote.ca has been advocating and getting support for a Citizen's Assembly with reps from all parties to study and recommend a made-for-Canada democratic electoral system. MOST democracies have ditched the archaic FPTP electoral system.

Trudeau ignored the support that electoral reform got across the country at town halls etc. because most people wanted a proportional representation system. Trudeau wanted to switch to an alternate vote (AV) electoral system that is simply another form of FPTP that favours the Liberals.

annedf.bsky.social•3 hours ago

FPTP was always stupid. I don't see how proportional representation gets big issue things done. NDP and Liberals are always fighting. That needs to stop.

thereallsc.bsky.social•52 minutes ago

The goal of pro-rep systems is to elect a govt that reflects most people's voting intentions The goal is NOT to hand 100% of the power to any party that represents only a fraction of what people want After each election, the parties cooperate and compromise and form a government that represents most

thereallsc.bsky.social•6 hours ago

IF we can take away Ford's so-called majority he won't have 100% of the power. Minority governments require parties to communicate, cooperate and compromise! (Federally minority governments brought us universal health care, dental care and the 1st phase of pharmacare!)

Not that I really want to but,,,
The Ont Liberals are 2’nd in polling so I’m voting strategic for them.
Ontario conservatives have only screwed us and their leadership is similar to Trump
Healthcare, total fail.
Negotiating labour, used dictatorship practices
Greenbelt, corruption galore. ETC,,

tdnation.bsky.social•1 day ago

They’re going to split so many seats, Ford will get an easy majority. Democracy works best with either 2 parties to avoid splitting, or lots of parties so every govt is a coalition b/c no 1 party gets a majority. Otherwise we get ruled by a party with <50% voter support. Or need ranked ballots.

foxweed.bsky.social•1 day ago

we need electoral reform. the problem is "first-past-the-post" voting, not the number of parties.

tdnation.bsky.social•1 day ago

That’s basically my point. But I think a merger between the Liberals-NDP is more realistic than getting electoral reform approved.

foxweed.bsky.social•1 day ago

but that would be like going backwards, giving up ground. i would rather we kept pushing forward for change where we need it most.

spacecatwrangler.bsky.social•1 day ago

Democracy is hardly democracy with only two options. That’s a duopoly, and it always ends up in the toilet.

tdnation.bsky.social•1 day ago

If it was ranked ballots or proportional rep, I’d agree 100%. But now you can get 40% PC, 35% Libs, 25% NDP, and the PC wins the seat despite 60% voting for a centre-left candidate. Vote splitting is mostly lib-ndp. In that case, I’d say it’s not a democratic outcome.

Go to https://votewell.ca/, find your riding, and vote statically. If not to get him out, at least get him a minority government. Vote for the Liberal or NDP in the lead.

annedf.bsky.social•13 hours ago

We use this every election. Most of us know to use it but, if they dont' get it together we cannot beat Cons because a lot of people don't really use this properly. They need to get together!

hayseedlucy.bsky.social•5 hours ago

Simply VOTE for which ever party has the BEST CHANCE of winning against Cons in YOUR area!
Don't split the vote! If Cons win, then Liberals & NDP won't have a say!!!
If you vote SMART in YOUR area, the Libs & NDP could be forced to work together!!

In German politics coalitions are the norm, not the exception. Elections are only the beginning to a negotiation process to determine who forms a government with whom. I've always been very suspect of the "winner takes all" mentality of Canadian politics

All options must be on the table - work together as a coalition to ensure Ford doesn’t succeed or at the very least can be restrained by a lesser majority.

beyondthec.bsky.social•10 hours ago

Ontarioans are not paying attention - a wake up call is desperately needed. Ford is selling us out! He’s rolling out the Welcome carpet for a Trump-Musk annexation. He’s the Enemy within .. he’s walked back his promise to cancel his Musk-StarLink deal - this tells you whose ‘side’ he’s on!

beyondthec.bsky.social•10 hours ago

Trump-Fanboy-Ford spent ON taxpayer $ to sponsor Trump-Musk propaganda spewing Fox ‘interview’; in Nov 2024 did a deal w Musk 4 StarLink to curry favour,despite our already having a contract with CDN Telesat using CDN satellites. Giving Musk this access puts our very security & sovereignty at risk!

peipolitical.bsky.social•1 day ago

Perhaps. When she thought she was polling from a position of strength in the polls. Now though?

stanleygilroy.bsky.social•1 day ago

Nah, Marit is a good one. She wants Ford gone, she even made defamatory statements about him out of Chamber hoping he would sue her personally to be able to force information into the Public Eye.

I'm not an NDPer but she has my vote.

This is not a party issue. It's an Ontario issue. It's a Canada issue. NDP or Liberal, it doesn't matter. Ontario voters have to stop Ford/Trump/Musk from keeping power in your province.
