    Everyone knows Doug Fords not a great candidate ... the other 2 are far worse...
    Where have we heard something like this before?
    :pensive:

    I think it's absolutely nuts that anyone could think that Ford is better than the NDP candidate. :dizzy:

    LOL ... at least Doug Ford will be able to put together a competent cabinet ... 
    If by competent you mean corrupt, yeah.

    Rob Ford’s widow sues Doug Ford, alleging he has deprived her and her children of millions

    https://www.thestar.com/news/canada/2018/06/04/rob-fords-widow-sues-doug-ford-alleging-he-has-deprived-them-of-millions.html

    Oh, really?? More drama and shadiness in the Ford family?! Who could have seen that coming???
    Yeah, what a good choice for running Ontario! A guy who can't even honestly deal with his own family's money!
    Family estates often times en up in court ... and these are just allegations yet to be proven.


    Come on, you know Doug Ford is a creep from a family of creeps.
    Kathleen Wynn and Andrea Horwarth are bigger creeps ....

    I totally disagree. Wynn may or may not be more incompetent, but we wouldn't know yet, since Ford and Horwarth haven't had a chance to show off their own incompetencies yet. But he's definitely the biggest creep of the 3.

    The NDP have 2 anti-poppy candidates, an anti legion candidate, a candidate who posted hitler meme, a candidate that was carrying FU Police sign, a candidate that wants to add .35 to a litre of gas...a leader who claims to represent the working people who spent 45000 of other peoples money on clothes...no working person I know needs to spend 45000 grand on clothes...the ontario NDP/Liberals are pathetic...

    That actually doesn't make Ford any more desirable.

    Why would I support the NDP ... she backed the liberals over 90% of the time.  I'll take my chances that with Ford.

    Ontario teacher's licence suspended for two months after telling student to 'lick me where I fart'

    http://nationalpost.com/news/canada/ontario-teachers-licence-suspended-for-two-months-after-telling-student-to-lick-me-where-i-fart


    LMFAO ... what a fucking joke.  This woman should be fired and be banned from being around children...she'll likely be union president next year.
    suspended 3 times already, and they think 2 months is going to be enough of a deterrent? fuck this woman. she belongs in a dive bar, not as a teacher. fire her. 
    The teacher unions in Ontario are extremely powerful ... I think sometimes school boards don't like to spend precious resources fighting the union only to lose anyways...

    considering the crap choices we have for this election, the best possible outcome in a minority government.  I think Ford is the worse choice

    Agreed. It's comical, actually, that Ontario people have made him legitimate.

    sorry I have not read all the posts here but can you tell me what you like about him?  are you at all concerned that he has not released a fully costed platform?  by any chance, do you live in Toronto?  if so, can you tell me what you liked about him when he was a city counsel man

    I don't know if the ontario people made him  legitimate as much as the other leaders have made him that.

    For one the liberals and the ndp party platform were incorrectly costed if you recall.  Not that many post ago I explained what I like.  I'm not going to re type except I'll add 2 more things...eliminating corporate welfare and the green energy act.  At this point and time I give up thinking any political party has any real interest in deficit free government...

    A minrity is no good, then we'll 3-4 liberals hi-jacking government ... fuck that ... I hope the liberals are completely shut out tomorrow...

    I could have lived with the NDP ... until the IDIOTS THINK WE SHOULD BECOME A SANCTUARY PROVINCE ... health care is not free and we should not be giving it away to every tom dick or American that crosses the border.  We have 8-10 r wait times now.

    And at least the PC's have some solid candidates.  The dippers are full activist, puppy haters, legion haters and on and on...and a leader who spent 45000 grand on clothes in 3 years and filed it under office expenses...Andrea Horrible is just a crook as well...

    whoever wins the election is only going to be a stop gap and hopefully in 4 years Ontario will have better candidates...If the ontario election is the most important of her lifetime then she needs a life.  No matter who wins the sun will still rise Friday...

    The same thing was uttered after Trump won.

    There are many Americans that can attest differently to those sentiments.

    That's dismissive. Sometimes just one election really can completely change the trajectory of a province's or country's path in a really big and meaningful way, for better or worse (yes, the Trump election was one of those for the US IMO). It actually happens all the time (It certainly did in BC - when the BC Libs won all those years ago and kept power for 16 years, that absolutely changed BC is huge ways forever). Obviously she feels that this Ontario election is one of those, and that's a valid viewpoint for her at the moment, obviously. She clearly has a life.

    It's kind of like saying, "Hey. Yes. I know he's a tool, but let's just give it a shot and see honit plays out. We can always fix things later!"

    Yes. And saying that ignores the fact that it is WAY harder to fix things later than it is to fuck everything up in the first place.
