Doug Ford should give a huge thank-you to the @OntLiberal party for helping to ensure this victory for his second majority tonight.
@StevenDelDuca campaigned hard against the @OntarioNDP right to the very end.

I had a hunch that this was going on when I saw all the calls for strategic voting—which often just confuses progressively minded voters.
Small-C, conservative-lite, Liberals, will nver solve the problems created by big-C Conservatives.

Consider: of those who thought Ford was a great/good/OK premier, 13%/10%/33% of respondents were Liberal voters.

I think, overall, most Canadians have had positive or uneventful voting experiences for decades. So what is going on in #OntarioElection2022 ? People told they have already voted? Machines down & no system for running paper-only ballots? Polling stations being moved last minute?
I know, we mustn't question the voting system, lest it throw shade on the veracity of the election results. So they say. But so many issues in so many locations? What is going on? Were elections staff poorly trained this time? Was the technology not thoroughly tested in advance?
This all seems weird because Canadian elections usually run very smoothly. I'm not saying it's some kind of vote suppression conspiracy, but @ElectionsON is probably going to want to take a look at why there were so many problems.

Many people trying to read this explosive article of Doug Ford in bed with Russians, creating a back channel to bypass US sanctions, are getting a 502 error. So I’ll attach screenshots from @Kelans27. PLEASE AMPLIFY! #VoteFordOutJune2 #OntarioVotes #ONpoli #cdnpoli #PCcorruption
Is it safe to say so much of what we have come to love (and hate) about Ontario will be forever changed on Thursday night?
As a Dad of young children, & teacher, I'm struggling with what a PC majority might mean for school communities, the environment, and our health care system.

I have knocked on doors, made phone calls and talked with friends and neighbours. I am voting with a few on Thursday in order to help get out the vote, but I'm afraid it won't be enough.
At this time, I really think the only chance we have of stopping Ford and his PCs is to swallow our preferred party pride, check our hearts, and vote for the candidate most likely to defeat the PC candidate, riding by riding.
There is more coverage in the media right now regarding 3+ hour waits at Pearson for the trip to Cabo, but fucking crickets about 12+ hour waits at the emergency room.
More coverage on the cancelled flights than the cancelled surgeries.
More coverage on the delays for passports than the delays for autism.

Ontario doesn't need an Autism Program and emphasis on it in politics is driven by lobbyists that push services that aren't evidence-driven/highly correlated to trauma

The Ontario Liberals, when faced with the issue of #ODSPoverty(disability supports being legislated poverty), decided they can't commit to raising #ODSP significantly
Instead they are using #50KisNotOK to feign action on Disability

The evidence-base for #ABA is so bad they call it needs-based instead and the reputation for ABA is so bad they won't even call it by name instead calling it needs-based therapy #ABAisAbuse

ODSP max today for a single person is $1169
The NDP plan to raise it by just $200 a month until 2023

The PC's, Say they'll raise it by $58 a month and then inflation only raises 1/

That same single person on ODSP bringing in $1169 today is at least $1000 short of reaching the poverty line EACH month. $1000 in the hole.

Potato chips.
I bought Potato chips today and they cost $4.00 for a medium sized bag. For someone on ODSP, that would be like $8 because their income is SO low.
