No, it’s not rewarding a corrupt greaseball with a job in parliament. Not that hard of a concept to grasp.

I wasn’t the only one, by the way - maybe YOU are the outlier.

Imagine if we all declined our vote. Could they ALL lose official party status?

That'd be effing epic.

So let me get this right... You'd prefer to vote for the PCs but won't b/c you don't like Parm Gil. Instead you'll vote for someone that represents another party who's policies don't align with the ideals that make you want to vote for the PCs ?

I think everyone is just shaking their heads at the PCs this election
Liberal support was low, NDP & Green are always runners up
It was the PCs election to lose

And they have done it
Ford will do well in Toronto sadly but the rest of the province is against him
And even if you could stomach him, then locally they throw Gill in
I don't care how conservative your views run, there is noway anyone could possibly vote Gill

I'm not sure about that. I do not recall a dramatic change since May in party support. It looks like NDP support peaked and and then dropped.

The map at this Global News website (below) shows PC's firmly in control of south central Ontario.

I guess the only poll that matters is today :?

That can't be correct?
It shows PC & NDP battling it out; Liberals are reduced to a non-party on that map

Liberals have been projected for 1-3 seats for weeks now.

Individually polls are almost meaningless. But a poll of all the polls seams to make better sense.

Like it or not the PC's have better regional distribution of support and as of yesterday there is an "89.7% probability of the Progressive Conservatives winning a majority despite the relatively close race in the popular vote. The PCs have a better regional distribution of that vote and so are heavily favoured to win more seats."

https://newsinteractives.cbc.ca/onvotes/poll-tracker

I guess we will see tonight if the poll-of-polls is more correct than individual polls.

Wow, someone definitely likes the taste of spiked cool-aid.

I think this is more accurate;
Libs = corrupt and spend too much money
Cons = Super corrupt
NDP = spend more than drunken sailors

Those are our choices in a nut shell.

I've decided to vote for Indira tomorrow. The main reason is I think she has the best chance of stopping the slimy Parm Gill from getting in. The Liberal caucus (if there is one) will be small regardless so one more wont be an issue. I don't think it will be close though and we're going to wake up Friday morning with Parm Gill as the face of Milton at Queen's Park.


I think Indira is the best candidate in Milton but the other posters that mention to vote NDP to keep Parm Gill out are correct. The strategic progressive vote for Milton is NDP according to https://votewell.ca/ votewell.ca.

Try telling that to ppl on Milton talk, they are all over the map, there is a ton voting Green and a whole bunch saying they will spoil their ballot. Not to mention a bunch that want to keep Indira. It all points to Gil winning. Many say it the party that's important not the candidate and will vote that way.

You should not spoil your vote as a protest, you should decline your vote. The best way to protest vote is to decline it which is outlined as follows https://globalnews.ca/news/4225759/ontario-election-decline-to-vote/. To quote from the article;

“When you spoil your ballot, nobody knows whether you just don’t know how to mark an ‘X’ properly, or whether you actually are spoiling it in protest,” he said. “Declining your ballot sends a much clearer message that you are voting none of the above.”

So protest vote is to decline.
Anti PC vote for Milton is NDP based on votewell.ca.
To vote for decent candidates is for whomever you choose (Indira and Eleanor Hayward for green Party seem like the best candidates to me).
To vote for the best leader would be Andrea Horwath for most (or Christine Elliot if the PC's were not so stupid).

Just my thoughts. Off to vote now.

When all is said and done I don't think a tally of the "declined" votes will mean sh*t to those who win.

I take this back
Libs really did get crushed that badly

I honestly am surprised at results being that skewed
