'The Conservatives picked up a number of traditionally orange seats, especially in blue-collar ridings like Ontario's Windsor West...'
Lot of SW Ontarians have also been voting for the growing measles outbreak thereabouts by electing not to believe in vaccination.
Whatever the cause, expect the Tories to be looking closely at this population to test slogans & polemic for next time.
Libs would do well to learn whatever lessons they can as well.
Apparently, the Conservative loss was the fault of us 55+ voters…and Doug Ford? #NeverVoteConservative #WTF #cdnpoli #onpoli
OMG PP - early speech, staying on as leader, but he's possibly losing his own seat - and he's nothing but slogans
He's gone, CPC EAT losing leaders
Jagmeet Singh declaring himself he lost his own riding of Burnaby South - stepping down as leader of the NDP
Expected, but huge

I am nervous about Canada’s election tomorrow, so I will be focusing on distracting things for the next little while.
I’m not ignoring anything that’s going on, just trying not to doomscroll. (But you all do what is best for your own mental health, of course! This is no way a judgement of anyone who will be tooting about it all day).
Whoa! "Bill 5 would keep #Ontario dependent on fracked #gas, repeal the #EndangeredSpecies Act and give the Premier Trump-like powers to immunize any person, business, or property he chooses from any (or every) provincial and municipal law."https://act.environmentaldefence.ca/page/170384/action/1

I'm shocked and horrified that someone got arrested at today's Critical Mass ride in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. It seemed random and arbitrary, and could have happened to anyone of us.
They are in last few frames of this video, on the left of the screen, managing traffic for safety.
These rides are peaceful, they've been held on the last Friday of the month for 20 years or more.

We’re on the cusp of 'modernizing' and moving to this mode & level of service here in Canada, too.
Ontario under Doug Ford is leading the way.
Woot.
