Who will you vote for in the Ontario Provincial Election

I understand you frustration and this election could very easily boil down to the classic, 'kick the bums out' strategy. It's very unlikely any one party will get a majority and be held to the fire for any grandiose shite. It's not a perfect solution, but there doesn't seem to be a benevolent dictators on the horizon, so hey.
How could anyone here vote for a party that wants to crack down on this industry and freedoms in general on the municipal, provincial and federal level?
One can't just be a single issue advocate, although you have that right (there are other things that matter in life, but I may not support those Feds if they criminalize johns).
Also, let's keep federal politics separate from provincial.
The days of Jack Kennedy are over. Now it's choosing the lesser of evils OR kick out the incumbent if they've not improved things, lost confidence, or wasting our money.
I would except many of the main players federally were once Ontario provincial Conservatives.
Would you vote for Baird, Flaherty, Clement, etc when they are provincial but not when they go federal? Why?
It would have been a more accurate poll if you listed 'undecided'. I chose 'none of the above' because that is where my confidence is.
BTW: "Hope the public won't be scared by the Fiberals into voting for them" should read "Hope the public won't be scared by the Hudak into voting for Liberals"
Going into the election I really wanted to get the Liberals out. Now that I'm listening what a complete fuck-up Hudak is, I honestly don't know what to do. If don't like walking on hot coals, it does not mean I'm going to jump head first into a lava pit for relief.
I don't listen to the Liberals - they have been in charge for years, why would they change course for an election ? I have listened to Hudak - other than his resemblance to Mr Bean - I don't know him. He is going to generate 1,000,000 new jobs ... by sending off 100,000 service employees on to the unemployed lines .... he is cancelling credits for students and seniors to bring the deficit under control but at the same time he is offering tax breaks to personal & businesses ... how does reducing government revenue result in a smaller deficit ?
BTW: I am glad to see that the Liberals have reformed their ways after the last election promise. A few tens of millions became $1 billion ... now they are just out right tossing $1 billion to build a road. Maybe I'm wrong but how much money is the government going to make back in taxes from what ever mining industry is generated at the end of the road ? It must be a lot to payback the taxpayer. If the area is such a rich opportunity, why isn't private funding / subsidy occurring ?
I was drowning in Liberal incompetence and Hudak rows over to toss me an anchor. Wonderful choice ... I am so frustrated by both parties.
Perhaps you should just look at your local candidates and vote for who you think will do the best job for your riding.
Right, but all of the local candidates will be pushing the platforms of their political party, so nothing really changes with this strategy.
I agree with Mr. Deeds, there is no one worth voting for and in my opinion picking the lesser among the evils in not a choice. It's too bad that our voting system didn't all for write in votes. I would write in None of the Above as I am certain many others would as well.
Cheers
For this election I'm voting liberal. Lots of hospitals subways and public transit being built all over province and I don't see how u can argue with that. My kids public school is great. My Dr is great. Yes they fuck up once in a while but with a 100 billion a year budget they do a pretty good job. I'll take a 2 percent or three percent loss cause of mistakes once in a while. No ones dying of poison water. Bridges aren't falling down. We don't have electricity shortages. And compared to the rest of the world our economy is doing pretty good.
There is a cost for everything & the you have not seen the final invoice for all that you described
That utopia is not sustainable
The provincial debt is apparently not an issue for you at this very moment
The liberals will make it a huge problem for you and your kids down the road
