I live in a majority conservative rural area where the worst thing to happen since the gays is Justin Trudeau and where Black Lives Matter is instead "Rural Lives Matter". A truly wonky place if I do say so myself.

Oh wow.


Fun times in the maritimes.

Honestly if the Conservatives are voted into government in the next election to spite the liberals again I will lose whats left of my sanity.

I also just noticed that New Brunswick isn't in the poll, they're having an election in September.

I'm an American, but I follow foreign politics. I'd vote for the New Democrats wherever possible, and if I were in BC I'd vote as hard and as many times as possible for electoral reform. I'm a bit of an electoral system nerd, and I believe proportional representation (with a suitable threshold) is the best electoral system.

To be honest it's not even that, New Brunswick just does this stupid thing where they'll vote in conservatives, get mad at them, vote in the Liberals and get mad at them, than vote in the conservatives again. It's an endless cycle of madness in which the majority of voters have not reached the obvious conclusion to the problem.

We're so concerned about democracy in Venezuela, we're preventing their citizens from voting from here!

Did New Brunswick get around to playing Far Cry 3?

That sounds like the definition of insanity to me.

It's possible respondents are lying. It always is.

But presuming they're telling the truth, a majority of voters in Ontario oppose having Doug Ford as their Premier.

If that's the case, they need to vote NDP.

Remember, it's having Liberals in government that made a third of voters turn to lunatics like Doug Ford in the first place. If that's a measure of voters' sheer hatred for Kathleen Wynne, then the 19.1% of people who are still considering voting Liberal are giving the left a bad name.

How do we know this? Because the first step toward Communism is Socialism, and none of the aforementioned are even remotely Socialist in any way, shape, or form.

Doug Ford's outspoken, but he covered for his sleazy, corrupt, drunk, cracked-out scumbag of a brother to an extent unbecoming of a leader. When you're in charge of a ward of constitutents, let alone a province, you're supposed to serve the public, not your family.

I can't wait for the probable Ontario PC victory and the inevitable sanity collapse from many NDP and Liberal supporters.

That would be bad. I don't want Chancellor Ford in charge.

Ford is just such a sleazebag, though. The PCs themselves aren't bad at all, but Ford, his lack of ability to elaborate on a platform, and his sketchy history rubs me wrong. I'm not really left wing, but I think I'd go NDP.

I could see the Liberals being voted out of government in Toronto with the Conservatives or the NDP winning, but I don't think Ford would be able to win in the district he's contesting.

I'm not Canadian, and I know few about their politics. But this is looking bad for Trudeau in 2019. PC's are kicking ass in Ontario.
