In my ward, there is only one candidate that's tying themselves to a political party. His tagline is that he's "The conservative choice", and his signs look like a copy of the UCP ones. All the other candidates use colors and slogans that aren't affiliated with any particular party

there was a ward 4 candidates forum streamed last night, but I can't seem to find a recording. Anyone have an idea where I can find it?

Nearly my choices as well. I just picked Senators that weren’t affiliated with PPC or CPC. That made it really easy.
Our household:
Mayor: Gondek x 2
Councillor: Mian + McAnerin
School: Hack + ?
Senate: Thunder, Pillay, Kinney + ?, ?, ?
Flouride: Y x 2
Equalization: N + Y
Time Change: Y + Y

My equalization number is off by one. Oops.

This is kind of misleading since it's not a private poll. Based on the Federal Gov't thread there are WAY more Farkas voters in here but are too ashamed to publicly state it.

Agreed, but I think it shows how anyone not voting Farkas is going Gondek, which means we have strictly a two horse race. I think it ends up being very close.

People don't want to admit they voted for Farkas, deep down they know he's a Muppet but they can't overcome their reflex to vote for a conservative obstructionist.

I haven't paid too much attention to the Equalization vote besides this article from the Toronto Sun that a friend sent to me.
https://torontosun.com/opinion/colum...nces-seriously
It's swung pretty widely to rejecting the idea on here so can I ask what people who voted no think about this one? I'll probably abstain because I'm not really informed on what they are trying to do here.

IMO the equalization question is political grandstanding/BS. But it's a great opportunity to embarrass Kenney with a "no" vote, if you want to take shot at him. Same with voting for Kinney/Thunders for senate.

In 13 do people think Unsworth has a chance?
Maclean is pretty clearly terrible but is winning the sign battle. Urquart does nothing and sways in the breeze but wouldn’t be a negative force. Unsworth would be good but not seeing enough of a presence.

I'm voting Damery now since I am not as afraid that Farkas would benefit from that.
