    If only we had this same motivation during the Ontario provincial election 2 months ago. We barely cracked 45% turnout

      I waited an hour in line on Friday to cast my ballot.

      During the provincial election, I didn’t wait even a second. In fact, it looked like some of the workers there hadn’t had any work to do for a while and were bored out of their minds.

      While I won’t say that this was the reason why we got a selfish and corrupt moron a majority government (my district elected Lib), the fact that people were so unaware of what’s going on in the Provincial government was depressing.

        Yet those same people were screeching about how Trudeau was making healthcare worse and that the childcare deal “was a waste of money”. Mother fuckers your province MANAGES THAT SHIT
