Ontario Election 2025: Pre-Debate, PC lead drops as Ford’s negatives rise. Ontario Liberals clearly in second. - Abacus Data

Some interesting data prior to the debate.

There's a significant room of undecided voters.

OLP is making gains.

Ford's Trump stunt is wearing off.

The tariffs aren't nearly a top issue.

If the OLP trend continues and ONDP-leaning voters go for Crombie's plea to vote OLP, Ford might get knocked down to a minority.

Watching how the numbers move post-debate and will post again.

Ford doing a publicity stunt, calling an early election to cash in on it, and then getting knocked down to a minority would just be... chefs kiss beautiful.
- Totally. Still not very likely but I think it's still possible. I hope it materializes. I've rounded up friends and family to vote, some OLP some NDP, depending on their riding.

"Reducing traffic congestion" is well below "dealing with climate change and protecting the environment".
Yet Ford claims that traffic is one of the biggest issues for Ontarians, and is doing everything to make sure that climate change guardrails are ignored or abolished while he tries to force another unnecessary highway onto protected land.
FWIW, the plans to spend tens of billions on a tunnel, and a new highway, and to remove bike lanes... negatively impact the cost of living, healthcare, and housing affordability (the actual top concerns).
Because creating more car infrastructure is unsustainable, so more taxes go to supporting it, but you never get back benefits in return.
Please don't vote for this idiot. He's making all our lives more difficult.
