Better is just vote strategically. VoteWell.ca shows what opposition party stands best chance of beating Ford PC party in YOUR riding. Vote for that candidate no matter party.

Hopefully the crowds at advance polls means a big turnout in Ontario. But early voting has become a trend of convenience over the last few years. Not the indicator it used to be.

Wow. Good for the Jays. He was so solid for them last year. Can't believe he only got a minor league deal.

I agreed with about 90% of what Harper had to say. But yes, you identified the sketchy, contradictory part.

U.S. Park Rangers are a precious + stunningly cost effective resource. Most of them do it out of love. Firing them is beyond stupid.

Personally I favour lowering voting age to 16. The biggest reason is that will result in civics/democratic systems being taught/discussed in high schools. And those grade 11 + 12 student voters will be more informed citizens going ahead.

Every voter needs to find 5 voters to take with them who either never voted or stayed home last election. If we do that the cons lose. Their full base is pretty intent on voting each election so they are probably tapped out. Ford is banking on low voter turnout to work in his favour.

Yup. USA becoming an international pariah. U.S. goods being shunned in stores around the world. It is happening quickly.

Yeah, it is a great concept. Especially here in Ontario where you have three opposition parties essentially splitting the vote.
