A place to discuss the Ontario provincial election (not municipal ones or terrible mayors)

Any threads about the election will be merged here

Vote Early, Vote Often, Vote Penguin..

It's the right , left and center choice.

[Patty Smyth]

You guys almost have less choice than we had, good luck. At least we got rid of the separatists.

I was so excited to hear that I will be participating in another election this year /end sarcasm

This election is going to be a very interesting one. I feel no confidence in any of the parties, so which is the lesser of evils.

I'm a politics nerd and I greatly enjoyed watching your election. Thought it was very interesting.

yawn, again!?

Well as long as it gets rid of the mcguinty legacy I'm happy. the liberal party of Ontario has mismanaged the province. We've gone from a have province to a have not. And that's not getting into all the scandals

Tim Hudak says he would lay off 100,000 civil servants
http://www.thestar.com/news/queenspa..._servants.html

Hudak said the 10 per cent cut will affect all workers, except for nurses, doctors and police, and will bring employment back to 2009 levels.

So yes, he will cut government workers but that also means that 100,000 people out of jobs when Stats Can is reporting that the Canadian unemployment rate is still at 6.9% and has lost almost 30,000 net jobs in April. I understand that this is for all of Canada, but that is another 100,000 people without a job.

they sang, perhaps it was ginette

Will probably vote PC but am interestedin throwing my vote to a 3rs ( or in this case 4th )party candidate....did you know we have a libertarian party in Ontario?

[FallenPixels]

Libertarian, Green, Communist and several others - they don't all run candidates in all ridings though



308's predictions are interesting, they have some Liberals losing their seats I would not have expected (like the Speaker who they have as marginal)

They are ringing door bells nows.
So, it's a race.


Of all the parties listed, I don't see my favourite:

[Granger]

Many of you know I am a teacher. So I am not much in favour of blue at this point. I already took a pay cut (not freeze) from red.

I live in Tim Hudak's riding. I am really struggling where to vote. I would like to vote Green, but I feel this is a vote to Tim. Thoughts?

Others have taken pay cuts from the Liberal party's reign too.
We are voting for the candidate that will do the best in the riding where we live.
We are voting for the candidate that that has shown to do good for our community over the past few years.
Just a thought...
