I'm glad I'm not a voter in Ontario. The only thing I like about this is that I'm sure JT will now back track on imposing carbon taxes on provinces. He would bully Saskatchewan and Manitoba and probably Alberta after Kenney wins but no way he will battle Ford and Ontario on it especially given JT faces re-election in the fall of 2019. Ford has said no carbon tax and will pull out of the the cap and trade with Quebec and California. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Recent polls prior to the Ontario election has Scheer and JT tied at 34%. Is the Conservative surge in Quebec real? If so this could be big trouble for the federal liberals if Ontario and Quebec move to conservatives. Trouble for them good for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That being said, I can't imagine Trudeau's headache having to deal with two blond right-wing populists now But seriously? Ford? He's got a terrible history in business and a terrible history as a councillor. I doubt he'll be any better as premier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His victory certainly will help Saskatchewan. Have to applaud Saskatchewan they stood up and said no to JT and his ridiculous idea of imposing a carbon tax on provinces.

CBH1926 Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 The era of liberalism is slowly withering away. As far as Ford goes as a candidate, it looks like lot of dumb voters live in Ontario. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In a few years, Libs in ontario will be back in power. It is way politics works. Kick out the incumbents and hope for change. In a few years voters get sick of the new party..... and time for change once again. Ontario will realize what a clown Ford is and be embarrassed soon enough...

DonLever Posted June 8, 2018 Author Share Posted June 8, 2018 Voters did not vote for Doug Ford. Voters voted for change and that is what they got. The Ontario Liberals have been power 15 years, that is a long time for any party. On the other hand, the Ontario Liberals really messed up the running of the province. Hydro rates increased greatly and the debt ballooned under them. Apparently Ontario is the one of the most in debt jurisdiction. Based on this they deserved to be reduced to less than 10 seats. And what of the NDP'? Well there is no real difference between them and the Liberals. Both are of center parties that believed in big government, big spending, big deficits, etc. At least voters saw through the NDP and disgruntled Liberals did not all vote for the NDP. Some former Liberal voters went for the PCs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
