First off, I've been dealt quite a dose of humility as regards my strategic abilities: I'm very pleased with my BQ and GP projections but boy, did the NDP ever under perform. Wasn't expecting that.
This election is without a doubt a strategic vote in Ontario where people did whatever it took to keep the CPC out.
Well sure, the CPC likely won the popular vote but that only counts in horse shoes.
So, forgive me if I don't offer the CPC or NDP any advice.
But in the end, as a democrat, just got to say that voters are always right. Simply grateful that Trudeau was held to a minority.
And the great thing about this election: well, the wheels of government begin to turn once again tomorrow and that's always worth celebrating in a democracy.

Kinsella ON Bernier.
Isn't it so delightful to see the self-appointed self-righteous, who are quite naturally, absolutely in God's image and teachings going after Warren Kinsella with all they can muster. And those people, quite incredibly, have the unmitigated gall to attack Kinsella with every charge, accurate or more often, otherwise.
Get the picture folks! All of this comes out of Maxime Bernier's own positions and comments -- not to mention who he quite deliberately chooses to surround himself with politically. How many people do you know who are repeatedly photographed with racists who then, to my knowledge, do zip to condemn those photos and express regret for having been naive enough to agree to be photographed with just about anyone, or anything, that happens to come through the PPC's door?
No, sir or madam, this is not about attacking politicians -- or their staffs -- or even their war rooms. All of that is fair game. We all have opinions on politicians and those who politically surround them so why would any of us not be allowed to publicly express them, so long as they are not hateful?
So ironic to see people quite willingly demonize others while at the same time giving absolutely no quarter to those who happen to do the exact same thing, via similar techniques, against their own leader...and the leaders themselves, from several parties, are no better. There are absolutely no angels in this race, only a pathetic unfortunate collection of liars, con-artists and sanctimonious prigs.
Then what about those who either by deliberate action, or unintended misinformation, go way off in left field with bogus charges such as:
that some people having allegedly attacked Wynne, when nothing of the kind ever happened. In Kinsella's case, he consistently challenged those around her as regards their political abilities, and yes, did not always have kind words for them as individuals, but he always treated Wynne with respect and repeatedly reminded readers that he long liked her personally. That's the reality.
Others, quite incredibly, denounce those who put out "negative" energy. But they are both selective and intentionally hypocritical as to who gets to be the intended target of their more or less credible political animus: no outcry against Justin Trudeau on Harper, Scheer, Ford, Kenney, Higgs and the list goes on and on...a far cry from when his father rebuked him for having mildly criticized Clark in his youth. Nothing to say about that. Ditto for Andrew Scheer and his minions who delight in personally tearing off a Trudeau strip with every breath taken. All of the above is absolutely peachy, as long as your guy is the one doing it. Thus, the politicians are entitled to an automatic pass but not Kinsella. No, no, he's the strategic devil incarnate who goes out of his way to do what no other Canadian, in or out of politics, has ever done...mind-numbing hypocrisy.
And what to say about the clearly mentally ill? As someone who suffers from it myself, my first reaction, of course, is one of compassion. Next is a hope that they will find peace and quickly get effective and often-times, life-saving treatment. Finally, to those people and all others I would say, take a real deep breath before posting personalized hate because a highly competent solicitor is inevitably, right around the corner.
Many people lately have amply demonstrated what it is to be truly Canadian. Others not. Just glad I instinctively knew which side to fall back on.
