What are the chances of the Libs and NDP forming a coalition if Ford wins? Do you think it could happen?

Andrea Horwath left the door open to the possibility.

She insisted that her goal is to form government, but she didn’t shut down the possibility of a coalition with the Liberals. So take that with a grain of salt.

I personally think she was implying that she would accept Liberal support for her to become Premier, rather than the other way around.

Are you in favour of strategic voting? If so, do you know of any websites that assist Ontario voters in making a strategic choice?

Yes, and no.

Yes when there is a coordinated effort backed by lots of data that correctly identifies the strategic vote in a particular riding. Because if there is not a coordinated effort for thousands of people to strategically vote all the same way, it won’t work. It didn’t work in the last federal election.

In this election it doesn’t make sense to strategically vote in my opinion (vote differently based on the riding). Strategic voting only makes sense when the two left-centre parties are polling close to each other, and there’s no momentum shift. That’s not the case in this election. The NDP has emerged as the only viable party to back if you want to stop Ford. The Liberals are polling under 20%. The NDP is polling from 30%-37%. The NDP is the strategic vote here if you don’t want Doug Ford.

I’m using two different definitions of strategic voting here. I don’t believe voting differently on a riding to riding basis here will work, because only one party has the momentum. It is strategic to back the NDP because they’re the only viable challenger to Doug Ford. Plus why would you want to re-elect Liberal MPP’s after the way they’ve acted lately? Its a win-win to vote NDP.

If it's carpal tunnel, it may take far more than 2 days to heal. And... *that's okay*. Perfectly okay. I have a fic in my subscriptions that I've been following for 6 years! Sometimes there are years between posts. It's a great fic, though, so I keep track of it. This is fic, not your paid job. So take care of you. Don't worry about whether we'll wait for you or not. We will.

I have no idea what you’re talking about. And I’m fascinated.

I can see Kurt in Paul Smith ties (paulsmith dot co dot uk). Some of them might be acceptable. Will have to think about Blaine a little more -- I think he'd be more traditional.

Ooooh thanks! Yeah, I’m kind of bummed that Alexander McQueen skull ties are totally out, because even as a Mormon, Kurt would be into that. But I think he’d also like the Paul Smith jacquard floral tie a lot, too.

You’re not alone.

No problem with that up here. Lots of lights – and maybe a Christmas tree or two – but no nativity scenes on government property.

It’s the “on government property” bit that tips it over the edge for me.

Eventually the transfer of power will be complete and the Cabinet will be announced and we can start to focus on policies and what kind of leader PM Trudeau will be... until then, here! have our new Prime Minister designate (a few years younger in the video) dancing to Dil Bole Hadippa!
