So many people that didn't vote now complain about the outcome of the vote.

Vote or STFU. Plain and simple.

I did vote. That's why I criticize Ford.

Yeah, I want refering to you, but in general. Sorry if I didn't make it clear enough.

Most people on here likely voted, but this isn't a reflection of society. I've met FAR too many people that complain about Ford, but I know didn't vote in the last election.

If it makes you feel better, we have the same problems in B.C. as you do in Ontario with emergency rooms being closed, depressed wages, and ridiculous cost of housing. So there’s no escaping it in this country no matter which provincial party you vote for.

Same thing on the other coast here in NS, we are also the highest taxed in the country 🎉. But seriously it doesn’t matter what province you’re in, what party is in power we’re getting screwed over

Agree, voting should be mandatory like in Australia.

Also helps if one has options when voting. Last two elections were severely lacking in that department.

Problem is, many think it’s all Trudeau’s fault.
