    Voter suppression like with the last Ontario election. News media is in on it. Fuck I wish we had proportional representation. We have a clear majority of parties that represent the majority of Canadians and aren’t Conservative fuck wits.

      I hate our electoral system as much as the next person, but as an Ontarian I can tell you that our low participation was entirely our own doing.

      I’m definitely mad that DoFo won a majority with a minority of the votes, but with something like 40% turnout I mainly put the blame at the feet of the apathetic losers who didn’t show up. Young people especially, out of my close friend group of 10 people there were 2 of us (including myself) who voted.

        Voter suppression is why the turnout was so low. For WEEKS prior to the election, all you saw in newspapers, TV, and internet was how dominating DoFo’s lead was.
