If the left keeps eating it's own i fear another Doug Ford majority. Another four-year horror show of indolence and stupidity.
If you believe the polls, the PCs have a little more than a third of popular support, with the possibility of forming a majority government. I'm not sure what the concept of " left " means anymore other than in the black and white world of the Tories. They are defining a world that most people seem to abhor.If the left keeps eating it's own i fear another Doug Ford majority. Another four-year horror show of indolence and stupidity.

I don't remember the last time a conservative won this riding............it was decades ago......
I have to say, I'm not seeing this competitive race reflected in area signs..........lots of Lib/NDP but I haven't seen many PC signs....probably more Green ones......
I did the same, however my 40ish son and his wife who live in an eastern Ontario riding are so disappointed they said they aren't voting, ignoring my pleas to vote. I don't know how widespread the feeling is amongst this demographic, but if there are young people you know who are exhausted and want to be relieved of the politics, please let them know how important their vote is.Walked down to the advance poll with the family today. Voted Liberal. I wish we had Australia’s ranked ballots.

Keeping in mind that a lot of those question-mark seats are "urban left" seats torn btw/the Lib and NDP "strategic" option.There are many caveats with seat projections, but this one from this afternoon on Ipolitics is quite something.

My wife and I marched our 20 and 18 y/o kids to the polling station to make sure we all vote, after making sure they‘d reviewed the positions/promises of each candidate and party. A bribery ice cream from Landsdowne Cone at the Paint Box helped too. Maybe that’s how Elections Canada should entice the young to participate.I did the same, however my 40ish son and his wife who live in an eastern Ontario riding are so disappointed they said they aren't voting, ignoring my pleas to vote.

Why are you surprised? I'm no fan of this government and thought their management of COVID was poor. But, by and large they reflect a large suburban consensus. And I see that with a lot of my acquaintances. I know a few NDP to PC voters this go too.As I said I'm just as stunned as you. Scarborough Southwest is also looking like it will go PC for the first time in decades.

Whatever the reason the Liberals have come off as the party of "No'". This includes returning to normalcy after COVID.
