I know a number of males who, while not fans of Wynne, will vote Liberal if they feel that is the best way to keep Ford out. They may also vote NDP.
She didn't just say they look like ninjas. She said they shouldn't be allowed to dress that way. Comparing them to her child dressed up like Spider -Man is a bit much too.
If you consider it acceptable for an elected official to discriminate against an entire culture based on how they dress, then I guess she's the candidate for you.

However, I do feel the need to say, in fairness, that @MTown made quite clear his disdain for the candidate in question.
His query, I think ( though I should leave him to speak for himself ) was whether her off-colour, odd-ball, even stupefying remarks, as quoted in the article in question merited the degree of offense and alarmism indicated.
Now don't get me started on her (past?) views on Conversion Therapy.........but that's a whole different............
So I do agree banning the burqa is wrong but in my opinion, but one also has the right to not like it either.
I want Doug to answer questions. For example, just how would firing the hydro CEO (which he can’t do) save money and solve the Hydro problem? I can only imagine the severance package that’s in place, so that move would cost us. But neither Doug nor his followers let facts or reality get in their way.
905, 705, 416 and some other area codes that I don’t know because cell phones.
Recognizing Wynne’s unpopularity doesn’t equate to rolling over and handing Doug the win. There is a third alternative. I would love to vote FOR someone rather than against someone, but that isn’t looking likely.

20 years ago forcing women to dress in a Burqa would have been seen as cruel and misogynistic. Now its viewed differently. Things are changing so fast now its hard to keep up.The issue is as a Muslim, the Burqa is not a religious outfit but a cultural one and many immigrants have come from countries with many backward cultural practices and have abandoned them as they realize Canada is a secular progressive nation. Most Muslims also find the Burqa itself to be a very backward practice that showed be thrown to the wayside.

Right, but then what would his government actually accomplish?
Firing the CEO of Hydro One (which they can't do anyway) will do nothing to move hydro prices (except maybe up to compensate for his termination fee).
Anyone who would consider voting for the PCs based on Doug Ford claiming he'll sack the CEO of Hydro One "because something needs to be done about electricity prices" is--I want to choose my words carefully--.......a fool/simple-minded/intellectually stunted/ignorant.
They should be made aware of this and the facts of the matter.
I think he showed his true colours with this one: he doesn't know wtf he's talking about. He's all about spouting a bunch of rubbish in a loud voice, getting idiotic soundbites that entice simple-minded people, and having his face in front of the cameras (unless, of course, those cameras are accompanied by journalists asking questions).

And the liberals will say they will reduce Hydro prices and then say after the election it was a strech goal...
I be honest I had control to a monkey then the Ontario Liberals on the issue on Hydro.

Wait! Hold it! Stop!
I just saw an entirely moderate, reasonable, thoughtful statement from you!
Don't ruin it, this is.................oh......damn.........was your moment to shine! LOL
