I’ve met quite a few people who will complain about him and recognise that he’s corrupt, but just not go and vote. Last time he won on a turnout of 43%.
I just don’t understand how it’s legal for him to send text messages. I’m not registered as a Conservative so how did he get my number but his competitors don’t.
At federal election time all parties get a list of all voters, and their contact information from Elections Canada. I assume it’s true in Ontario as well.
You’re seeing messages from the Conservatives because they’re reasonably well organized and they’re doing a decent job at fundraising.
The other parties could do it as well, but aren’t. I assume it’s because they don’t have a decent election committee/budget, but I have no evidence of that.
The Do Not Call List exempts Canadian registered charities, political parties, riding associations, candidates, pollsters and newspapers of general circulation for the purpose of soliciting subscriptions.
Aside from Toronto and Ottowa and Northern Ontario. At least on the last provincial election, we all voted against him without a single trace of blue on any district.
It was quite frustrating when the two biggest population centers as well as the biggest physical area all voted against him, but we were still stuck with him.
Especially weird that anybody would vote for a guy who completely ignored you for four years in favour of concentrating all his effort on the city you often hate the most.

He thinks he’s opaque but people can see right through his machinations and manipulation.

I thought that was a generic scam text
It started with “this is Doug Ford” for goodness sake

I would recomment registering on Canada’s National Do Not Call List. It doesn’t help all the time, but in this instance of political calls it should.
Personally I’ve been registered for about 20 years and rarely get any unsolicited calls now.
The Do Not Call List does not apply to political parties or charities:
Ugh. Sorry about that. It’s changed since I first signed up.
And just like the Albertans, Ontarians are allergic to making sound voting decisions and will vote him right back in again.

CTV should take a look at how good Ford is polling though
Exactly. Ontarians don’t want an election, and they will punish Ford by voting him in yet again.
