So Ontario - approximately 43% of registered voters got out and did their civic duty. We have failed today as a province. For those who voted, regardless of your choice, thank you. Why do so many think this isn’t important?

Please: Anyone but Doug Ford.
Ford is uniquely unqualified and unsuited to be a leader for this moment. His years in office have been defined by shortages — a lack of homes, doctors, teachers, jobs, skilled workers, subways, buses, and bike lanes. #Opinion
