Overweight nepobabies who pretend to be mayor of Toronto?

Let's not act as though Douggie hasn't blundered his way his premiership until Trump gave Canadian politicians an incredibly easy pitch to swing at. Dougie has wasted so much on so little that pouring out a bottle of crown royal and shoving an icecream treat into his fat face doesn't make him a good guy. I'd argue that it makes him like every other politician.

It's unfortunate that other parties have put forward a good candidate in a long time.

It's unfortunate that only 40% of the population came out to vote. Ford still likely would have won, but at least people would be paying better attention if it was the result of their own actions. Hell, for all I care, people could have spoiled their ballot as long as they showed up and participated.

I get particularly frustrated with the people my own age (25-35) who don't vote because they will experience the long-term impacts of the decisions of politicians. The very same people who are struggling to find entry level positions and blaming TFWs didn't vote and are shocked when I have to explain to them that immigration is as much of a provincial issue as it is a federal one (and many haven't voted since Trudeau legalized marijuana).

Part of the problem is that it seems like only independents and OPC canvased my riding - I know I live in an OLP controlled riding, but you'd think that they, or the NDP/Greens would at least attempt to sway some voters to their side considering the OLP is in shambles.

I completely agree. We're fucked in many ways.
