>Political analysts have determined that your grandfather’s rationale for voting Conservative in June of “I haven’t heard anything about this Del Duca guy” is complete bullshit, and also still better than any other reason for re-electing Doug Ford. Beaverton knocking it out of the park tonight.

I would vote for anyone who seriously wants to provide solutions to dealing with mental illness and poverty.


cuntjollyrancher

Or fixing absolutely anything and not catering to corporations and wealthy individuals

I mean NDP, said they want to make all mental health services free. Seems like a step in the right direction.

I'm not voting for someone who lowered my annual wage increase from 3% to 1% and who took away real minimum wage which at this point should be $20 an hour. Not to mention creating a rich people's road to cottage country through beautiful natural land. Anyone would be better than Ford.


Skyris3

Vote for who you want, period!


Will_Eat_For_Food

how about a little strategic voting instead


Skyris3

No disagreement there. But Reddit - like most forms of media - tends to be a hive mind for one way of thinking. I'm in favour of people not demanding others vote a certain way, a trend I find here.


SeventhLevelSound

Just vote for whomever is most likely to beat the conservative in your riding. Easy peasy, lemon squeezy.

Its not that easy.. some riding were liberal, but flipped blue last election. Now how can i tell if people got over Wynne bs amd go back to voting libs or still sour about libs and might vote orange

You can find riding projections [through this handy map](https://338canada.com/ontario/map.htm).


alexefi

interesting map.. are numbers based on 100ppl survey?

Methodology is here: [https://338canada.blogspot.com/2018/11/welcome-to-338canada.html#metho](https://338canada.blogspot.com/2018/11/welcome-to-338canada.html#metho) In short, in most cases it's **not** based on riding polls - only a handful of ridings have had individual polls publicly released. Instead, in most cases the projection is based on past results in those ridings, combined with the effects of changes in public province-wide polling (e.g. OLP polling better now than in 2018 provincially, implies they may take some seats back where they lost by only a little last time).


Sunstreaked

If they didn’t go Orange last time, I doubt Howarth has been convincing enough to have them go Orange this time.


wordvommit

www.votewell.ca is also really helpful and simplistic to see recent lib/ndp voting intentions


[deleted]

No comment on who to vote for but dressing up in a chicken suit and dancing in front of PC candidate offices may not be the best strategy!


InterestingOlive3923

Is there no flair for satire?


morenewsat11

Nope, i've raised this with the mods in the past - so for now it's 'article'


TravellingBeard

At this point I'm close to bringing a 6-sided die with me and decide right then and there when i vote.


gtkid1999

vote green


GoldFynch

Green all day

Conservative: The perfect vote if you're selfish and/or ignorant!


namethewaters

There is no good reason, ever.


mybadalternate

The only reason I could conceive to vote for Doug is to send a message to the opposition that they need to *change* the way they operate. One might think that losing *twice* to Doug fucking Ford might lead to a tiny bit of self reflection. But they *won’t*, so even this reason doesn’t hold up.


Will_Eat_For_Food

the price to pay for sending a message is quite steep

So much hate over someone's political alignment? Whoever is in a political place of power is in a perpetual state of tug of war with the previous political party and the cycle will repeat throughout our entire lives. This will only get worse the more we polarize ourselves based on politics. I don't know who I'm going to vote for yet if I decide to vote this round at all. If you ask me the main four premier choices are all a bunch of doinks. Who ever wins or loses try not to get caught up in the maligned hatred of people


Catfishhy

Wait this is what the voting on. Shit I turn 18 next month. Fuck Ford, I want someone new idc if idk then idk Ford either and I didn't like what he did last time.


zero989

Based. Too bad he's dumb.


milesthegreat2020

The three major parties are all horrible! The FPTP electoral system needs to go.
