He's Rob Ford's brother, correct?
I haven't been following it that closely because of the cluster that is the US, but I know most of my Canadian friends are worried.

I'm voting after work, I'm really hoping that the PC's do NOT get voted in... But unfortunately I think they might, and I worry about what they are going to do with our healthcare, and Ford pandering to the christian religious right..

Dh and I voted earlier today. Our poll was empty but we went just before school let out since voting was right at the school we could pick up DD right after. So super nervous. I don't know what is going to happen to our province if PC's get in it seriously scares me.

Walking out of my polling station today, I overheard a younger man saying “I don’t really do politics, but I really like Doug Ford”... I just don’t understand how so many people support him. It breaks my heart for our province thinking how much this will set us back and mess us up.

I’ve seen a lot of Trump support here so I’m not surprised with the result today, but I’m angry.

Yesterday my cousin shared a meme on FB. It Ssaid something like "NDPs will be in the lead until 4:30... Until all the PCs get off work". She's a stay at home mom. I just... I don't get the thought process.

We are fucked... Ford is going to set this province back 50 yrs... Reopen the abortion debate, change the sex ed curriculum, and destroy schools & healthcare. The best parts of the health curriculum are things I can and will teach even if they repeal it: consent and LGBTQIA. No one can stop me from teaching my students to ask for something first and stop if the other person says no. I don't have to teach sexual consent to get that message across. And no one can stop me from weaving the LGBTQIA community into my daily teaching. I don't need to and shouldn't limit those discussions to health class.
