Election Time In Ontario! - Wednesday!
Good morning, everyone! It’s a beautiful Wednesday, and the weather is actually pretty nice. We even got some fresh snow, but it’s not too cold. I don’t mind the snow as long as it’s not frigid. If it’s both cold and snowy, that’s when things get ugly. If it’s just cold, it’s just miserable. Snow I can handle. I already shoveled, so I’m ahead of the game.
And guess what? It’s election season in Ontario! That’s right, we’re heading back to the polls in 30 days. Doug Ford called an election, catching the other parties off guard. It’s like in America, we’re voting for state representatives, but here, we’re voting for our provincial representative – just for Ontario.
Ford’s move is pretty gangster, he saw the other parties slacking and went for it. He knows his numbers are good, especially since he’s the only one standing up to Trump for Canada. People see Ford as almost a de facto Prime Minister in some ways, leading the other premiers on how to act against Trump. He saw the polls and thought, “You know what? Let’s go to the polls!”
This is going to mess up Bonnie Crombie; she’s about to get slammed. She has no chance. The NDP have no chance in this election either. Ford’s going to secure another four-year mandate, and they’re screwed. She literally left her cozy mayoral job to lead a party that’s going to perform horribly. They’re so on their heels right now. Unless they can somehow find their footing in the next two weeks, I just don’t see it happening.
This is going to be such a one-sided election, in my opinion, based on who I’ve talked to. Governments change when people are annoyed, when people are pissed off at the status quo. And people are pissed off at the status quo right now, but they’re pissed off at the federal Liberals. Provincially, I don’t think people hate Ford. Yeah, they might find him cringe, a bit goofy or dopey, but not enough to vote him out, not that I can see. He’s been saying all the right things, sending $200 checks in the mail, keeping the suburbs happy. Sure, the city folk hate him, but they hated him before he did anything, so whatever.
Honestly, this is going to be a nothing burger. So, if you’re running against him, good luck. If not, whatever. People find me annoying; conservatives hate me because they think I’m an annoying progressive, and progressives hate me because they say I’m a freaking neoliberal. Neoliberals? I don’t even know what they say; they don’t even watch politics; they just try to have an opinion on everything. Who knows? Anyways, y’all have a great day. Till the next one, peace!
