The Ontario Election

We’re about five weeks out from heading to the ballot box in Ontario. Between now and June 2nd, the candidates will be trudging the sidewalks, knocking on doors, or at least as much as they can in the sixth wave. Will the Province have new leadership on June 3rd? 

The last time Ontario went to the polls, the governing Liberals were reduced to a rump party of just seven seats. The N.D.P made gains and became the official Opposition. Midway through the mandate, the pandemic arrived turning everything upside down. As we grapple with a sixth wave while politicians try to turn the page on Covid, Russia has invaded Ukraine and the price of a home in Canada is the highest it’s ever been. 

Our Unpublished dot vote question asks you. If the election was held tomorrow, who would you vote for, PC, Liberal, NDP, or Green?
