BREAKING: Christine Elliott is NOT conceding the Ontario PC leadership
to Doug Ford. In this statement she claims “serious irregularities” in
the race. #onpoli #pcpoldr.
Remember the emails I sent you about Ontario's Provincial Election
since January?
If not you can find some of them within the link found below and many
people know it. Trust that there will be more to follow.

Christine split the vote. The delegates clearly showed enthusiasm for
both. Now Ford is the leader and as such presents a clear and definite

Odd, I've seen many anti-Ford comments.
As a 10 year veteran of this section, and quite familiar with the colour of censor, and being quite familiar with your posts, I suspect this is just another ploy of yours to denigrate opposition.

Mr. Ford. To get votes, I
suggest you tell us "all" about yourself. To what extent did your high
school schoolyard sales reach? Are you still super-buddies with your
brothers sleazy friends? Would you still vote for Trump if you had a
chance to?

@Dennis Regan "Would you still vote for Trump if you had a chance to?"

@David Amos : Methinks being
willfully ignorant of the goings on concerning our neighbour to the
south is pure folly. The USA is still the most powerful and influential
nation in the western hemisphere, and it is prudent to keep an eye on
what may be affecting our nation with every twitch and groan.

What is at stake in final
Ontario leaders' debate is the political and economic future of Ontario.
As I see it, a vote for Wynne is a vote for more of the same old
policies and behaviors that have plagued Ontario for the past fifteen
years. A vote for Ford and is reformacons will likely result in the same
kind of crippling debt Mulroney and Harper inflicted on Canada and the
massive cuts to essential government services imposed by Harris. The NDP
is the unknown quantity in this election and is the only party without
recent baggage.

Patrick Brown says he's not to blame for Doug Ford's campaign woes
'This is the Progressive Conservatives' election to lose,' the former Ontario PC leader told CBC News
· CBC News · Posted: May 28, 2018 7:04 PM ET
He's not the party leader anymore. He's not even running for a seat.
But former Ontario Progressive Conservative leader Patrick Brown's name keeps popping up in the Ontario provincial election — whenever Liberals and New Democrats take his successor, Doug Ford, to task over lingering questions about contested PC nomination battles.
"You want to get answers on this, Patrick Brown was the leader under this whole group of people," Ford said during an event earlier this month in Baysville, Ont., when questioned about a private company's claim that data belonging to 60,000 customers had been breached.
The company, 407 ETR, runs a toll highway. Simmer Sandhu, who worked for the company for nine years, recently quit as the PC candidate in Brampton East over what he called allegations "pertaining to both my work life and my nomination campaign."
Brown has kept a relatively low profile since stepping down as leader in January after CTV News reported that two women were accusing him of sexual assault.
Brown has denied the reports and is suing CTV for $8 million. CTV News says it stands by the story.
But Ford's repeated claim that Brown left the party in ruins has drawn him out. Hours before the three major party leaders gathered Sunday night for the final debate of the election, Brown sat down with CBC News to talk about how the PC campaign is going so far — and to suggest that Ford is dropping the ball.
[The Progressive Conservatives] have snatched defeat out of the jaws of victory before, but never with a lead this big. - former Ontario PC leader Patrick Brown"You know, Doug may not have wanted to say, 'Talk to Patrick Brown,'" he said. "Because the facts tell a very different story.
"When I left we had a 20-point lead in the polls, a massive financial advantage, the largest membership, the most diverse membership in the province of Ontario. And we were winning by-elections left, right and centre."
That early advantage for the PCs seems to have evaporated over the course of the campaign. On Jan. 13, less than two weeks before Brown's resignation, the CBC Poll Tracker gave the PCs a lead of 12.5 points over the governing Liberals; the NDP was trailing in third, at 22 per cent.
On Mar. 11, the day after Progressive Conservatives elected Doug Ford as their leader, the party held a 20-point lead over the Liberals. The New Democrats trailed far behind at 24 per cent.
PCs' election to lose
On Monday, the day after the final leaders' debate, the PCs were at 35.9 per cent to the NDP's 35.2 per cent in the CBC's polling average.
"This is the Progressive Conservatives' election to lose," Brown said, adding that — given the substantial head-start the party had going into the campaign — anything short of a majority PC government would look like failure.
"[The Progressive Conservatives] have snatched defeat out of the jaws of victory before, but never with a lead this big. Never with an advantage this big. The PCs had a slight lead in previous elections and it evaporated, but never anything like this."
More recently, Ford himself was accused of interfering in a local party nomination race by signing up bogus members to help a candidate of his choice. The Liberals released documents and an audio recording of Ford that they claimed show him suggesting the fees would be paid by others — a violation of party rules.
"It was so frustrating," Brown said. He called on Elections Ontario to run party nominations to avoid allegations of manipulation of memberships.
"A party run by volunteers isn't adequately equipped to run nominations because they can be enormous affairs," he said.
"When the stakes are the opportunity to become an MPP and the opportunity to be part of a winning team, people will go to extensive lengths to win those nominations. And we've seen in some cases inappropriate lengths to win those nominations."

"Doug Ford has been a big part of the PC party for the last number of years," he said. "He was active in these nominations, particularly Etobicoke and Scarborough, and some of his candidates won and some of his candidates lost."
But how does Brown feel about Ford's approach to the campaign he'd been planning to lead himself? Brown said he's taking care to avoid directly criticizing his successor.
"I'm not gonna be a backseat driver, I'm not going to provide criticisms or advice to the current leader," he said. "[Ford] hasn't asked for that."
No love lost
But Brown acknowledges that Ford is further to the right — and that the two men aren't exactly friends.
"I'm not particularly close with Doug Ford," he said. "I obviously I'm more of a progressive conservative and we share different perspectives.
"I was proud to be the first PC leader to take an official delegation in the Toronto Pride Parade. I was proud to be the only Conservative leader in the country to speak against Islamophobia ... I was proud to lead a Conservative party that recognized climate change is man-made and we have to do our part."
"But I think Bill Davis's moderate progressive conservatism was a great fit for this province and it was right for our times."
He said he has had "mixed emotions" about watching the progress of the Ford campaign from the outside — particularly after Ford blamed what he called the "mess" Brown left behind for his decision to appoint 11 candidates in ridings across the province.
"The turn of events that I went through I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy," Brown said. "But I still have lots of very good friends in the Progressive Conservative Party and I only wish them well.
"When I ... won the leadership of the PC Party of Ontario in 2015, we had a $7 million debt. We were almost financially bankrupt. We had the worst finances of all the political parties in Ontario. When I left we had $4 million in the bank.
"When I ran for the leadership we had 12,000 party members. When I left ... it was the largest in Ontario history and we had seen a membership growth that was unparalleled.
"So to say there was a 'mess' is a very inaccurate picture."
'Never say never'
No one from the Ford camp would comment on Brown's words. An official close to the Ford campaign suggested Brown is trying to rehabilitate his public image to clear the way for a return to politics.
Brown won't rule it out.
"You never say never," he said.
"I'm not going to jump to any quick decisions. I do love public service, despite everything I've been through. I believe politics and public service can be a means to do good for your community. But I feel very fortunate to have friends and family and good health. And I'm enjoying life."
What's at stake in final Ontario leaders' debate?
In the 3 weeks since the first televised debate, the campaign has changed dramatically
In the first televised debate between
Ontario's major political leaders almost three weeks ago, NDP Leader
Andrea Horwath literally set herself apart from her opponents, standing
to the side of them, trying to convince voters that they had a choice
other than the governing Liberals or front-running Progressive
Conservatives.
Apparently her approach has worked.
Since that debate, the PCs' huge lead has collapsed, the NDP has experienced an unprecedented surge in popularity, and the Liberals — who had once contemplated a future as the Official Opposition after 15 years in office — now face a potentially humiliating loss on voting day.
With the political tables turned so dramatically, Sunday evening's debate — the last before the polls open on June 7 — has the potential to be an exciting 90 minutes that could help decide who will be the next premier of Ontario.
"I don't think I've seen this much momentum behind a candidate in a major election campaign, well, ever," said EKOS Research president Frank Graves, of the NDP's leap forward in opinion polls.
NDP Leader Andrea Horwath will likely be a target in the debate. (Marta Iwanek/Canadian Press)
Horwath's lead in the polls, however slight, could give her confidence, said Graves. "Maybe she's thinking, 'I'm on fire!'"
But it won't be easy going. In the earlier debate, Horwath was seen as a benign third-placer. Now, she will be the target of both Liberal Leader Kathleen Wynne and Progressive Conservative Leader Doug Ford.
Wynne will undoubtedly bring up the NDP's platform calculation error that led to the party's proposed deficit being understated by $1.4 billion.
The PCs have spent the past week exposing — and criticizing — questionable comments of a number of NDP candidates. One of the most recent controversies was an NDP candidate in Toronto who had posted a meme of Hitler on her Facebook page. (The candidate says she has no idea how the meme got there.)
Expect Ford to go after Horwath over the selection of these candidates, slamming the NDP leader for not dismissing them or denouncing some of their past statements more forcefully.
PC Leader Doug Ford will have to turn around cratering support. (Tara Walton/Canadian Press)
Although Ford will likely bring up the Hitler-meme NDP candidate, he'll be skating on pretty thin ice when it comes to criticizing other parties' candidates. One of his candidates in Brampton was forced to resign over his alleged links to stolen data from the company that oversees Highway 407, and there are further accusations that a number of PC candidates may have used that data to help win their nominations. Elections Ontario is investigating.
Just days ago, the Liberals released an audio tape that features Ford allegedly offering to buy people's party memberships to secure the PC nomination of his preferred candidate in his home riding of Etobicoke Centre.
And while Ford has vowed to release a fully costed PC platform, there is no sign of it with less than two weeks until voting day. The cost of his promises have outweighed his unspecified plans to find "efficiencies" — which the other two leaders will characterize as cuts to core services.
"Doug Ford needs to somehow figure out a strategy for stopping the cratering of his support," said Ihor Korbabicz of Abacus Data.
Graves is even more blunt: "He needs to look premier ready."
That won't be easy, with the allegations against him and his party that Wynne and Horwath are likely to come back to again and again.
Liberal Leader Kathleen Wynne is trailing well behind in the polls. She has nothing to lose in Sunday's debate. (David Donnelly/CBC)
After winning a surprise majority in the last election, Wynne is trailing far behind in the polls. She's got nothing to lose in this debate, which may be to her advantage. She's by far the best speaker of the three leaders, which will come in handy when the debate gets heated.
"It might be fun being Kathleen Wynne in this debate, even if it hasn't been fun being Kathleen Wynne in this campaign," said Korbabicz.
After being criticized in the first debate for delving too deeply into policy on occasion, Wynne will likely divide her time between trying to show why her opponents are not fit to govern and reintroducing her plan to help the people of Ontario.
But according to a member of her team, don't expect any potshots from the Liberal leader. She's planning to take the high road — even if Ford mentions her smile again — to reconnect with anxious voters.
But with previous surveys showing that more than three-quarters of voters want a change, it's unclear whether this debate offers a real chance to convince jaded Ontarians to reconsider the Liberals.

"I don't think I've seen this much momentum behind a candidate in a major election campaign, well, ever," said EKOS Research president Frank Graves, of the NDP's leap forward in opinion polls.
With an NDP victory well within the realm of possibility, Horwath's
performance at Sunday night's debate could be markedly different from
her previous outing.
Horwath: Confident or defensive?
Horwath's lead in the polls, however slight, could give her confidence, said Graves. "Maybe she's thinking, 'I'm on fire!'"
But it won't be easy going. In the earlier debate, Horwath was seen as a benign third-placer. Now, she will be the target of both Liberal Leader Kathleen Wynne and Progressive Conservative Leader Doug Ford.

Expect Ford to go after Horwath over the selection of these candidates, slamming the NDP leader for not dismissing them or denouncing some of their past statements more forcefully.
Both strategies will aim to show that Horwath and the NDP aren't
ready, or shouldn't be trusted, to take the helm of the province.
Horwath could be spending a fair amount of time on the defensive. She
needs to remind people of why they were drawn to her, but also convince
them that she will be able to handle the role of premier.
Ford: Needs to look 'premier ready'
Although Ford will likely bring up the Hitler-meme NDP candidate, he'll be skating on pretty thin ice when it comes to criticizing other parties' candidates. One of his candidates in Brampton was forced to resign over his alleged links to stolen data from the company that oversees Highway 407, and there are further accusations that a number of PC candidates may have used that data to help win their nominations.

Graves is even more blunt: "He needs to look premier ready."
That won't be easy, with the allegations against him and his party that Wynne and Horwath are likely to come back to again and again.
In the first debate, Ford merely needed to reassure. This time around, he has to win back the support he's lost.
Wynne: A chance to reconnect?
After winning a surprise majority in the last election, Wynne is trailing far behind in the polls. She's got nothing to lose in this debate, which may be to her advantage. She's by far the best speaker of the three leaders, which will come in handy when the debate gets heated.
