Jaxxon: Still not the stupidest thing from the expanded universe.



Completely unscientific, annecdotal preference data follows

In my many walks around my neighbourhood and riding (Ottawa West Nepean) I've seen a 2-1 ratio of OLP to PCO signs. I have not seen a single ONDP that hasn't been on public land. I have actually seen more Green signs on public land than ONDP by a ratio of 5:1.

Is the ONDP really lazy, or in deep poo poo here?

On the subject of yard signs, there are absolutely no NDP signs up in my riding. Not a single one. And that is because they still don't have a candidate.

Ha ha holy poo poo.

If I weren't on the phone I'd link but we have :siren: electoral reform. Sorta.

Wynne's platform says that she would allow municipalities to use ranked ballots in their elections instead of fptp.

Baby steps.

Well, ranked ballots are such a cynical bullshit move for the liberals. But at least they should help the Greens.

PR or bust.

To be fair, last time PR was floated in Ontario, it was overwhelmingly rejected
EDIT: Which is why I am saying baby steps like this may be more effective.

Has anyone seen any NDP or PC ads on youtube or other websites?

ACtually yes. I have seen PC ads on websites.

Hahaha I forgot about those. It allowed my parents to toss us in a minivan and drive to Orlando (3 day drive). Man we had so much fun counting the signs to "South of de border" tourist trap. (I think the highest we got was 473)

Did I hear correctly that the OPP released their first ever political ad saying don't vote PC?

Pinterest Mom posted:

What? In what universe would that possibly be true?


e: The OPP union released an attack ad on the PCs. Coincidentally, they negotiated an 8% wage hike with the OLP, which Hudak wants to freeze.

So either I misheard or someone misspoke. Still, it is first time in history the union did release an ad and it doesn't say vote OLP specifically but instead don't vote Hudak.

I think if Andrea supported that budget, we would all be hosed next year. There was barely anything in that budget that would do any good in the short term and it would be completely wiped off the map by a strong stable PC majority.

So, you're saying the tailor mde NDP budget is clearly not what ontario wants then?

Nope, it's Rye too

Much like Bourbon is shorthand for American Whisky, Scotch for Scottish Whiskey, and Shite for Irish Whisky, Rye is shorthand for Canadian Whiskey. So, we're both right
