A chance to knock him down to a minority? Bring it on! He looks a bit unshakeable but we'll try anyways.

MODERATORS
Polls show the Ontario Conservatives around 20% ahead of the Liberals (24% in January, 18% in December), so they're probably gonna be fine. Most of the media coverage of the tariff noise has had Ford front and centre, so now is probably a good time for them.
But hey, maybe something will happen during the election and they'll be knocked out of their lead.
I'm counting on him calling an election being badly perceived. He's not in the position Trudeau is. LPC is already at the bottom. The only way is up.
In the middle of a cold winter. I'm voting anyone but him.
Same. We gotta find per-riding data close to the election date. I'm in the 905 so the OLP is likely to be stronger contender in my riding but I'd like to know if that's changed to ONDP.
There's really no good way for it to be perceived. He's about halfway through the term, so it seems like a pretty bald faced grab to lengthen his tenure.
But I thought he was going to get slammed last time. We'll see.
I thought he was going to get slammed last time.
The man who froze pay of health care workers during a period of historic inflation, in the middle of the biggest health care crisis in 100 years? I thought for sure he would lose and yet here we are...
I guess it shows how out of touch with the political football game I am. Even if I were a conservative Premier, it seems like a no-brainer to give our heroes a modest raise. I mean, I wouldn't want to as a conservative leader but I mean, it's the middle of a goddamned pandemic and every rule has an exception, right? I guess I was wrong.
He hasn't been terribly loved in this term, does he really have the lock on the election he thinks he does?
With his stance against trump, he has people at the office saying things like, "I don't like Ford but I'm happy he's standing up to Trump" and I think Doug knows that's the best popularity boost he's going to get in the foreseeable future.
The polls are in his favour right now. Something like 18% higher than the Liberals.
Things seem volatile, so that could change.
He's such a moron. I would rather have that 200 dollar bribe money go into health care, or literally anything else. I know many people really need it and I certainly don't wish them not to have it, but it's SO dumb.
