How Doug Ford’s Electoral Success Ranks Historically Riding high in the polls during the 2025 Ontario Election, Premier Doug Ford boasted that he wanted to win the largest majority mandate in…

Doug Ford is a generational politician. But while he may dominate Ontario politics today, he has a lot of ground to make up before he can claim the top spot in the electoral history books of the province. medium.com/p/how-doug-f...

Martin Regg Cohn: Doug Ford wins an election with an embarrassing turnout that changes absolutely nothing Re-elected as premier with his third majority in Thursday’s Ontario election, Doug Ford now helms a Progressive Conservative dynasty unseen for decades.

Etobicoke-Lakeshore live Ontario election results Etobicoke-Lakeshore live Ontario election results

Hogarth was an explicit anti bike lane candidate, there at the Bloor west announcements to kill them, quite visible. And she lost. Bike lanes are a settled issue in Toronto. In the last mayoral election the anti bike lane candidates lost.

www.thestar.com/politics/ele...

Becoming a bit of a recurring theme at this point, as right-coded politicians keep thinking attacking bike lanes is a path to electoral success. Didn’t work in the mayoral by-election either. I’m thinking it’s just generally not a salient issue — even bike skeptics have bigger things to worry about.

Screenshot of 2025 provincial election result in 2025, showing Lib gain from PC in Etobicoke Lakeshore.

Doug Ford’s anti-bike lane Bill 212 was always bad policy, but now also seems like bad politics. PCs handily lost Etobicoke-Lakeshore last night, home of the “controversial” Bloor West lanes. And PC vote share in bordering Etobicoke Centre was basically flat from 2022. What was the point?

How Toronto voted: Liberals make gains at expense of PCs and NDP Despite Doug Ford’s third majority, the Liberals regained territory in Toronto on Thursday, taking back seats from the PCs and NDP.

While Ontario Premier Doug Ford won a 3rd majority government, his PCs lost ground in Toronto to Bonnie Crombie’s Liberals, including the ouster of Christine Hogarth in Etobicoke-Lakeshore who touted plans to remove the Bloor bike lane www.thestar.com/politics/pro...

Well I am the first in line to vote at my polling station. They got me a chair.

GET OUT THERE ONTARIO! Don’t let me down.

We do not want 4 more years of Ford because of voter apathy. Don’t let a little snow slow you down.

Edward Keenan: We’re all better off when more people vote — but here’s the real reason to cast your ballot today A vote for someone who doesn’t win isn’t “wasted” as some people claim — it’s counted the same as the others.

Like @thekeenanwire.bsky.social here, I've always appreciated the communal aspect of voting. It really IS a pleasure. I even met a new neighbour at the polling station this morning. 🥰

Today is election day and you have one thing you need to do if you haven't done so yet .... VOTE!!!!

#ONpoli you have until 9pm so let's work together and start flipping those blue seats to send Ford a message!

Good morning, Ontario! Today is the day to #VoteFordOut if you haven't already done so! Don't let the bad weather, polls, or lack of voter information cards deter you. You can go to elections.on.ca to find your polling station & which ID's to bring. Polls are open 9AM to 9PM. #ONpoli #ONDP #OLP #GPO

One of my neighbours put this up on their lawn. Civic virtue signalling! (extremely complimentary)

Today is the day, Ontario … vote! Everything you need to know at www.elections.on.ca/en.html

A reminder to folks who will be voting at Jack Purcell Community Centre today — there is no parking on site. Please park on Elgin or nearby side streets. Or if you can, walk over.

Why do Ford’s PC candidates expect to get the job, when they won’t show up for the interview? It’s a shame that our democracy is such a pain in the ass for Doug. #onpoli

Did the Ontario Leaders' Debates Move the Needle With Voters? | The Agenda YouTube video by TVO Today

Voters have now gotten to see the leaders face off on the debate stage. Were Ontarians watching, and have the debates changed the race? @jeyantvo.bsky.social asked @erinkelly.bsky.social (Advanced Symbolics) #onpoli

"There is no such thing as not voting: you either vote by voting, or you vote by staying home and tacitly doubling the value of some diehard's vote." -David Foster Wallace, novelist, essayist, and short story writer (21 Feb 1962-2008) via A Word A Day

This is why normally we don't have elections in Ontario in February #ONpoli It is a real hazard and if someone gets hurt, we know who to blame! Let us know if you have any issues getting out to vote or volunteer! Thanks @angeliquemoss.bsky.social and Canadian Affairs for getting this story out!

Well worth the read. #ldnont #ontpoli #climate

As promised a first group of candidates & ridings where if progressive voters come together to vote strategically - more PC seats could flip! Take a look and see if your riding in on the list. A few more are on our list, still to close to call!
