    Dammit, Ontario, why did you re-elect this guy again?

    Because when Trump came into power this time around he started making a bunch of “no 51st state” hats, and the people love that support him love themselves a hat and didn’t want to become a part of America, so he was the clear choice.

    It didn’t help that the provincial Liberals were trying to bring in Crombie (Ford Lite) and the NDP couldn’t campaign themselves out of a wet bag. It was another abysmal turnout (sub 50%, I think it was 45%) and it seemed to be because he had a anti-Trump narrative at the time.

    Everyone that votes for him seems to conveniently forget how he went quiet after his Maralago visit and disappeared back to his cottage until the election took place. They forget the period where he stopped posturing and disappeared.
