I voted. Somewhat disorganised inside the venue. A lot of handwritten signs directing people where to go.

Lineup was about 15 minutes, though some of that was clearly the kind of people who had no idea what they were doing (think of Pearson airport and there's an ultra discount airline flight to Punta Cana boarding with 200 people on their first ever flight).
Also people stopping to take selfies and crap. Like seriously, when you are done just leave and get out of everyone's way.

Once I got my ballot I marked it and was out in 30 seconds. I don't understand how these other people needed 10 minutes to do it.
 
The actual process was 5 minutes long for me. No selfie takers, and it appears quite well organized. I don't get people who take forever at the actual booth either.

CBC calls it for Ford. A third consecutive majority for the PCs.

As of this post, it appears the NDP will retain official opposition status.

Meanwhile, Bonnie Crombie could be in trouble. She is currently behind by 7% in her Mississauga riding with roughly half the polls in.

I wonder what this means for Bonnie Crombie now that it looks like she's pulling a John Tory

CBC calls Mississauga East-Cooksville for the PCs.

I wonder if this will force the NDP and OLP to consider a merge.

With a seatless OLP leader and vote splitting on the left something has got to give.

That assertion has been made before. I'm not persuaded at that a 2-party system is some sort of utopia. They have that in the U.S., it gave us Donald Trump.

You can't just add the votes of 2 non-governing parties and assume they would hold the combined total.

The party would shift in one direction or the other, depending on your perspective..and would alienate and lose a portion of that total.
 
The Liberals are not “Left.” The NDP aren’t all that left either.

While I agree, in many ways..............I don't know that that is a key problem for either party.

The key problem, current leaders excepted, is that they don't articulate a consistent, coherent set of plans, with broad appeal or the potential for same. And they do so with leaders who aren't great at communicating to begin with.

Though let me say here......I think the NDP ads weren't bad............just too little, too late.....

The Libs on the other hand had poor ads, and Doug Lite on offer.
 
Regarding my riding, Eglinton-Lawrence, it went to the PCs by an extremely thin margin.

That’s the riding where the NDP, the party that I usually vote for, is not running.

I voted for the Liberals instead.
 
That ad that played before Doug walked on stage was quite impressive. High production quality, original song. Clearly the Ontario PC's spent some serious money on this election.
