Some badly needed good news

[JBen]

Good to see everyone ignored the troll imo.

People really need to sit down and use common sense, sadly something I think is often lacking. Harper has his faults, despite suspecting 20-30 years from now Canadians will love or thank him, even Im not a huge fan of all his decisions, a few really bother me. But for anyone with a pair of eyes and the ability to think for themselves and accept that the left and left media will blow smoke, spin things….as will the right though its often drowned out in volume. See just how Angry Tom is getting a free pass on everything be it his parties abuses/election fraud and 2.7mm this year, See Dearns comments about the Catholic Church, his platform on military/ISIL.
/crickets from the left media

Have the typical working stiffs of Canada taken it on the chin as a result of his tenure?
Theres only one answer and thats no, and that is about all we can really hope/ask of any party.

Given the times, with so much uncertainty here at home, abroad be it China, be it Russia, be it the EU, US….or Syria/ISIL/mideast. Given the state Ontario is in with it Debt,soaring Hydro and taxes…Can the typical stiff without the security of PS and Pensions or good jobs afford a double whammy ( more at the federal level??)…

Like jesus, some people can't I swear..

As for Angry Tom. For the most part he's run a decent campaign and at times has done well/shown well.
JT the young boy sorely lacks life experience is a bumbling idiot….See his latest about small business (Lets overlook he is a millionaire with 3 numbered businesses) and so much more

As for Unions.
Well, enough said. Proof is in the pudding.

While I guess its to be expected some of their previous staunch defenders can't anymore..would be nice to kind of hear their "thoughts" today.

One last point about Just a preTender.
I'll give him this much. He at least is talking political reform

[blasted_saber]

Jt isnt the threat to Harper.

Hint: Its Mulcair.

[JBen]

Not sure why you'd say that in that manner.

A lot follow politics and a lot likely know the polls, and know it's still too close to discount anyone but EM.

In the end as it almost always does, it will be decided in Ontario, and it will likely be decided by a number of key ridings. And if we have learned anything the past 10 years, a lot can change in election night, when the undecided swing voters, get off the couch.

Politics is little more than a numbers game, in some ways quite easy to figure out (see Ontario how and why the Unions are SOO important), yet still hard to "predict".

ALL parties are extremely good, extremely careful about what they sell the public. Extremely good number crunchers, and know how numbers games work.

Because in truth they usually are just fighting for that small silent "majority". A small percentage of the electorate. And the rest (their platforms) is just bs smoke and mirrors.
Theatre.

It's still up in the air, a lot could decide last minute TM is just too out there, but are tired of Harper, and so........

Actually know someone who plans to vote JT, because polls are predicting a NDP win and that scares her. And she feels that Harper will lose, so her vote for JT is about helping make sure

Anyone but TM

[JBen]

If I had to bet, just had to bet right now.
I bet in a C or L minority.

TM is looking good right now, looking like he might just....who knows, the pundits and what not if/when he loses it, and saying "what happened" . They might suggest a number of reasons.

I'm guessing he peaked too early, gave the swing voters too much time to think about him. And like the woman I know who suspect her vote on Harper might be a waste...

+1 for JT

[blasted_saber]

My monies on a Conservative minority, with a chance at an NDP minority. I dont give the Liberals any shot (barring something huge that sinks the NDP).

[JBen]

Hope your right with the C.
So far (key) the NDP largely have been given a free pass. If as we draw closer they could see people go back to the L or C. As much as many are tired or hate Harper, still a lot who think the NDP would be ruinous. Depending on ALTA where their policies are killing them now.

It truly is too close to call so far. Something big needs to happen to mix it up one way or another. I predict a tiny Conservative win then a Lib/NDP coalition to topple the CPC at first confidence vote. The trending seems to show Mulcair losing his strong lead and being a near dead 3 way heat. This will be fought commando style in the streets riding by riding. Large cities have the seat count and Harper doesn't do well in large cities.
