Ontario 2018 election

[MAINEiac4434]

So what precisely did Wynne do to become so reviled?

[MAINEiac4434]

DOUG FORD IS RUNNING!!!

This is the race that just keeps on giving lmfao.

[MAINEiac4434]

Brown is running.

[MAINEiac4434]

Brown's dropping out and won't endorse anyone.

This has been a bizarre I’ve weeks for him to say the least.

[MAINEiac4434]

Horwath and Wynne must be giddy tonight.

[MAINEiac4434]

You know, if the left and centre in Ontario is mentally preparing itself to cede minority-majority banlieue districts to the radical right... well I don't even have the words to convey the necessary contempt, actually.

[MAINEiac4434]

That's a typical Liberal Campaign Promise. Go left to squeeze the NDP, move back to the center once in Government. Look at Trudeau.

[MAINEiac4434]

I can't speak more than anecdotally on millennial trends, so take it with a grain of salt, but most of my Ontario friends here at McGill are genuinely torn about who to vote for. They generally don't like Doug Ford, but detest Kathleen Wynne and see Andrea Horwath as irrelevant.

I have one friend from a small Central Ontario town from a Liberal family who just doesn't know. One friend from Etobicoke who voted for Wynne but is a huge Doug Ford fan. One friend from downtown Toronto who won't vote for Wynne because she "screwed over schools" but doesn't like Ford much at all. Another one who is all in for Wynne and might work for the OLP if he doesn't get another political gig over the summer.

It's an interesting blend, and those are just a few.

Sounds like these people should just vote NDP. Horwath will only remain irrelevant as long as people keep thinking that it’s a two-party race.

So I put the Forum numbers in TCTC, and it gives the Dips 88 seats, the Progs 33 and the Libs 0.

[MAINEiac4434]

Hmm. This election does have a BC 2017 feel to it.  The polls were tied and we were all told the electoral map favoured the Liberals.

So the Liberals will end up like the BC Greens and hold the balance of power with their few seats?

The Greens or the Liberals (or both!).

Hmm, we'd have to re-incarnate some old parties. Ford would be a SoCred and Wynne would be a...  Progressive Democrat?

Wynne would probably be NDP. Probably.

Is CBC (or some other channel) going to do coverage tonight? Gonna need a stream if that's the case.

CBC has a Youtube stream, I don't know if it'll work in the US though: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SY14V2CgDNI

The link works for me in DC.

Also, if you happen to be close to the border you can catch canadian broadcasting on the TV apparently.

I'm not in that part of Maine.
