Any of the three in majority = trouble.

Ford in a minority would be the best option. His claims are the best, but he has not really explained how he plans to do the stuff he has said.

If Ontario actually votes a Conservative party led by Doug Ford into a majority government they deserve to be relentlessly mocked for the rest of time.

Everyone I know is voting NDP anyway

The last several elections in my district have been the liberals in first with the NDP in second, and the PCs trailing behind by several points.

It's extremely unlikely they'll win this district.

And Iunno I think most people are predicting a conservative majority but there's been a weird swing over the last few weeks towards the NDP

the thing i like about ontario elections is they're always full of surprises

So the Conservatives finally released their "fully costed" election platform and...it's not fully costed at all.

Probably because if they included how they were going to fund it all there's zero chance they'd win the election :|

No they actually released a real one the other night

http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/toronto/ford-pcs-platform-cost-fiscal-1.4684590 outlines it

https://www.ontariopc.ca/plan_for_the_people is the page

Basically they're like "This will cost this" but there's nothing on how to pay for it.

Return to a balanced budget on a responsible timeframe.

What timeframe?

Reward Job Creation: Lower business taxes from 11.5% to 10.5% and lower the Manufacturing and Processing rate by the same amount so that more employers can invest, grow and create jobs in Ontario.

Trickle-down economics has proven time and time again to be a right-wing fantasy.

Cut red tape and stifling regulations that are crippling job creation and growth.

AKA "Fuck the environment and people's health" but wait they have a platform on the environment???

Fix the current EQAO testing regime that is failing our kids and implement a standardized testing program that works.

News flash: They don't, they're pointless, and Europe figured this out forever ago.

Respect parents: Restore Ontarios previous sex-ed curriculum until we can install a new one that is age appropriate and based on real consultation with parents.

Absolutely fucking terrible

Mandate universities to uphold free speech on campuses and in classrooms.

How

Develop our natural resources: Move forward with resource revenue sharing from mining, forestry and aggregates to help Northern towns and Indigenous communities share in resource development.

I'll believe it when I see it

Improve enforcement, including hiring more conservation officers and increasing policing of major polluters.

But didn't you say you wanted to cut red tape and regulations?

Build a culture of respect with zero tolerance for those who abuse positions of authority.

Hahahahahahahaha

I don't know about life in Canada so I won't say much

But having the NDP would be like having Bernie Sanders as president and having the Conservatives would be like having a combination of Bush and Obama?

One line of BS from the NDP platform is "by having the wealthiest people and most profitable corporations pay their fair share"

That is an equivalent myth to trickle-down economics

I hate needing to vote NDP just because they're the least garbage option. At least they replaced my riding's former totally garbage PC candidate so even if the Conservatives win, I'm not too upset about my area's representation in particular.

Ontario basically needs to come out of this election with a minority government or they're just going to end up just as fucked but in different categories.

Manitoba gave their Conservatives a majority because they were the tamest dumpster fire and it's been nothing but CUT CUT CUT CUT CUT CUT, like they literally axed a $300M upgrade to the CancerCare Manitoba facilities that we absolutely fucking need.

Ford is specifically campaigning on increased healthcare spending though. All the parties have pledged more money toward the system.

Ford is bad but he's not on Trump's level. I'd be more concerned if Kevin O'Leary or Kellie Leitch had managed to win the federal party Leadership race.

I'm kinda concerned about the United Conservative Party in Alberta though.

Yeah, Rob Ford was like the "good-natured but flawed" guy, while Doug was seen as more the "enforcer" personality of the duo.

Ontario already deserves to be relentlessly mocked for voting in Dalton and Wynne's Liberals over and over again for 15 years. Electing Ford's Conservatives now would just be par for the course.
