2014 Ontario Provincial Election

The problem isn't Patrick Brown changing his mind about same-sex marriage and sex education. The problem is he is only pretending to change his mind. If his change comes off as insincere, I don't see how that helps him.

Well, so much for marching in Pride.

Ironically, this whole episode has only improved my views of Brown. Anyone who uses Jack Fonseca and Charles McVety, realizes they are nuts and then distances himself, is okay in my books.

This is true! I have enjoyed seeing the wingnut SoCons get played.

Ont. Govt announces next election will be June 7, 2018, rather than in the fall, competing with local elections. #onpoli

BUMP:

Not that it matters (since they have a majority) but the act that Mr. McGuinty introduced and passed in the legislature (the Election Statute Law Amendment Act, 2005, I think) provided for Ontario having elections on the first Thursday in October every four years, starting with 2007.....if we are moving that date, can we do it via a Steve Paikin tweet or do we have to, you know, respect parliament and amend the act?

They don't know when to just retire do they?

A veritable youth movement!

 

[King of Kensington]

Oliver has presumably decided to run in York Centre because the PCs are thinking Monte Kwinter (who is 85 and has recently returned after an illness) won't finish his term. Though Kwinter says he plans to run again.

JUST IN: OPP confirm Patricia Sorbara & Gerald Lougheed Jr. charged with bribery under Election Act in connection with Sudbury byelection

The corruption...

 

[BurlOak]

Due to cross contamination of the Liberal brand, the corruption is especially magnified.

Between the Ontario Liberal Sudbury bribery scandal, the Yukon Liberal electoral fraud investigation, the Federal Liberal Money Laundering, and the general incompetence of the Liberals on the economy ($25B deficit promised in campaign, $115B now projected), someone has to pay the price.

i hope she loses.

I think Liberals in ON are like Trump. Nothing sticks.
