  1. There are 124 provincial ridings in Ontario.
    Here are 20 ridings where a combined Lib & NDP vote would have beaten the PCs.,
    There's also another dozen where the addition of the Green votes to the Lib & NDP votes would have beaten the PC candidate .

  5. My observations on the Ontario Election:

    Once again, first-past-the-post delivers a government that is not representative of the overall will of the people. Specifically, 57% of voters are progressive, but 100% of power goes to the minority who is not.

    A few weeks ago I started reading what Conservative voters were saying on social media to try to understand why they liked Ford. The only articulated reasons I heard were of the form “We can’t afford for the Liberals to get back in because last time they did [X]”. In all cases, the accusations of [X] were correct, but also the Ford government had done the same thing to a much larger extent.

    A large number of comments were just saying how great Doug is, but when someone asked why they were non-responsive — probably bots.

    Now I guess we get four more years of a government dedicated to taking all of our collectively-owned wealth and converting it to private wealth for their friends.

    My cold comfort: almost always, Ontarians vote a different party Federally than they have in power Provincially. (I honestly think that’s why Ford called the election when he did). So perhaps Ford’s victory yesterday will help protect us from a PP majority in the upcoming Federal election.

  9. Dear Ontario:
    Most of you exercised your right not to bother voting yesterday.
    That's fine.
    Just know the rest of us no longer have any interest in hearing about how you are getting your booze delivered by Uber now or how your gramma died of thirst lying in her own shit & vomit in an Ontario LTC home.
    Thank you. #OntarioElection #onpoli

  17. @canadianglen FPTP definitely does have to go but according to unofficial results from Elections Ontario, the votes to the other parties combined only add up to half of what voters gave Ford:
    Elections Ontario: Voter turnout : 45%
    PC - 82 seats
    NDP - 25 seats
    Libs - 14 seats
    Green - 2 seats

  25. NDP Leader Marit Stiles is addressing supporters at party headquarters in Toronto.

    Her party retained official opposition status in the legislature, despite finishing a distant third in the popular vote. That's because they managed to concentrate their vote in a small number of areas, and better hold onto their seats as a result.

  28. There’re too many parties splitting the vote in Ontario provincial elections, at least unless/until proportional representation becomes reality. Seems it, as expected, made it easy for a scandal-ridden & relatively unpopular Premier to win a historic 3rd majority government. #ONpoli #OntarioElection

  31. Really, you just expect miserable, worst outcomes in elections in this era, don't you? Huge tracts of people voting to entrench the worst timeline against their own community's best interests, but you still keep hoping for a positive surprise some day.

    Oh well, not today. Keep your head down and chisel away at the supports under the oligarchy.

  35. Ontario votes Ford in for third time, and gives a populist conservative a majority government as people go without access to healthcare, disability support, housing and basic friggin necessities.

    I’m disappointed in my fellow citizens. The rich and privileged few just voted to leave the rest of us by the wayside.

    They will never care until it happens to them, and by then it’ll be too late.

  39. Fun fact: Vincent Ke had misrepresented/lied about being an engineer when he got elected.

    I filed a complaint to the Professional Engineers Ontario association. I ended up quoted in the newspaper for doing so.
