Did Ford legalize online gambling or something? Because I (quebec...) keep guetting ads for CasinodaysJeux (french version of casinoday, a shit gambling site) which does not accept money, but being redirected to casinoday.com.

    How the hell are ontarians happy with their mob boss MP? Everytime I hear of the ford family at this point it's like a new jersey shore episode.

    "There are no electable alternatives" or some shit. In practice the Ontario libs haven't proposed anything worth voting for so we've voted for them mainly as the bigger sink of anti-Ford vote and thus most likely to unseat him. Didn't work. Twice. The Ontario NDP has been doing better with fewer votes but I think we also voted for them as an anti-Ford sink. We need more left populist fire from them. I think there's a chance that the OLP torpedoes themselves with a boiled ham leader for the next election which would be good for the ONDP.

    Marit seems like a damn good alternative to me.

    I voted lib the last time around because my riding is lib/con with barely any NDP presence. The lib still lost. I started donating to Marit's op and I'll be voting for the NDP candidate the next time around. Especially given that OLP nuked Nate from the leadership election. They're gonna put up Navdeep Bains or Lee Fairclough at the helm. I guess Fairclough isn't terrible. I kinda wish they go for Bains. Make it abundantly clear they don't care about the working Canadians interest.
