There’s one government in Canada that’s actually beating back the housing crisis, and it’s not Justin Trudeau’s Liberals or Doug Ford’s Conservatives (www.thestar.com)

Well, in Ontario it's because "Rae Days" or something like that.

None of the candidates are strong either.

Most people my age don't even know what the fuck Rae Days were. We didn't live through it, but we're living through a housing and affordability crisis and the only people talking about doing anything about it are the NDP.

Unfortunately we don't go out and vote, which is why the lowest voter turnout in history enabled the Ford victory.

Always love that argument

NDP did one thing I didn't like in the 90s and now I'll never vote for them

Conservatives do shitty things over and over but I'll give them a chance .... again

Liberals do shitty things over and over but I'll give them a chance .... again

It wasn’t even a bad thing

They just think the Ontario NDP caused a global recession

Ask someone would you rather have less hours in the short term or no job in the long term and they will side with Bobby

Ask someone if the government should spend less and protect jobs or fire people and spend a bunch of money to fill their positions and they will side with Bobby

Maybe they've noticed over time what actually happens when the conservatives, liberals or ndp are in charge during bad worldwide times. You definitely want a Harper not a Trudeau for conditions of the last ten years. yknow, a fucking economist.

Harper isn’t a good example, he destroyed our economy

Our deficit and military still haven’t recovered from him

Lol. Fuck I'll just make shit up too why not.

The only year he didn’t have a deficit was his last and he’s the only PM to go under 1% GDP military spending
