Ipsos just now: Ontario Liberals behind in every region
…with those most likely to vote. Holy shit la merde! They’ve got a huge sample – two thousand people. And look at what’s happened to the NDP vote! If this…
Have they said that children will starve to death if we win?
I don’t agree with John Ivison’s apparent suggestion that Tim Hudak is glissading (what a great word that is) to inevitable victory. I think whoever wins will do it based…
Warren’s witty, wacky, wonky weather wizardry
Good morning, Ontario! This rainy morn, we have two Ekos and Forum meteorological predictions wreaking havoc with PC governing plans – but, remember, Forum and Ekos have previously promised one…
I am a dog person
I am not so much a cat person. But I could watch this 6,000 times. And, in fact, I have. The expression on his little furry face! What genius.
Big political graves are dug with little shovels
In a tight election race, like this one, you have to pay attention to the little things. It’s the little things that will kill you. Case in point: the Liberal…
Public image, political slippage
I’m not sure why I titled this post in that way. I like rhymes and alliterations, as you know. Anyway. Yesterday’s post on GOTV caught the attention of no less…
Three things Ontario’s main political parties didn’t have, and the effect of same
1. Ontario New Democrats: Money. Effect: They disappeared in Week One, and only reappeared at the debate, at which point it was too late. 2. Ontario Liberals: A coherent message.…
In Tuesday’s Sun: disband the OPP
Despicable. Disgusting, dispiriting, deflating: Ontario’s 2014 election campaign has been all of those things, and more. It is coming to a blessed end in two days’ time. But this grinding,…
What is GOTV?
You hear weirdos like me talking about it a lot. And, in super-tight elections like Ontario 2014, Get Out The Vote isn’t just something – it’s everything. Whoever has the…
Harvard’s Nieman Lab is “amused at the existence of John Tory”
That’s one way of putting it. What is Harvard’s Nieman Lab? Here. Who is John Tory? Here.
Here are some of the people I endorse in this Ontario election thing
• Jamie Ellerton (PC) and Nancy Leblanc (Liberal) in Parkdale High Park. • John Fraser (Liberal) in Ottawa South. • Jonah Schein (NDP) in Davenport. • Arthur Potts (Liberal) in…
Gods of the Hammer
Just got Geoff Pevere’s book, and can’t wait to read it. Bonus: SFH – the band who played with Frankie Venom at his very last performance – is mentioned at…
Highly-scientific poll on why Warren thinks Tim Hudak is going to win
There are lots of reasons, but the four found in the highly-scientific poll below are the main ones. Can you guess which one is the big one? I have several…
Adam Radwanski, courageous voice for freedom and democracy
Canada’s Most Boring Newspaper Columnist™was just on CBC Radio’s Metro Morning, and was asked to comment on his own newspaper’s endorsation of Tim Hudak’s PCs. He wouldn’t. That is, a…
Liberal campaign jumps the shark. Again.
The Ontario NDP is like Rob Ford? Seriously? From the Sun story, here. .
June 15
Do I ever have a surprise for all of you. .
Has the OPP become a criminal organization?
If nothing else, they’ve become a law unto themselves. I have never seen anything like this. Ever. One thing is certain: the OPP had better hope the NDP win. Hudak…
In Friday’s Sun: how to win a political debate
I’ve had the privilege to help get Prime Ministers and Premiers ready for political debates. I always tell them debates are really just about two things. One, looking and sounding…
Toronto’s East End goes dark
