Ontario just re-elected a buffoon who offered empty words as a platform. Over his term he has burnt billions of Ontario taxpayer money to rip up contracts for green energy (only to restart similar projects later), alcohol sales (half a billion to speed up a deadline by 6-12 months). Yet, he only suggested he'd tear up Musk's Starlink contract and went back on it when tariffs were called off.

We have the same voter apathy problems up here. Stupid people and manipulation tactics know no borders.

Yea, despite Marit Stiles' best efforts (and Bonnie Crombie's mediocre efforts), Ford is better at getting headlines when he needs them. They didn't get enough opportunities to challenge his narrative and call him out on his scandals.

And since Trump distracted everybody, Dougie bet that voters would be too burned out to kick him out of office. With a 45% turnout this election, he was unfortunately correct.

I guess we get the governments we deserve. Bribing people with their own money seems to work on the average Ontarian.

I've been looking for turnout data, can you provide a source?

The Ontario Voter is a pickup driving asshole who only cares about seeing the right people get hurt.
