The COVID-19 pandemic

"Better than nothing" does not really meet my expectations of our elected officials.  I will remember this at the next election.

Unfortunately too many people remember the wrong things, and on the wrong time scale.

When the notion of electing an NDP government comes up, many immediately say “Rae!” which, regardless of ones more detailed opinions about political topics, is way out of time and ignores the fact that the Rae government was not notably worse than any typical Ontario government (by any reasoned assessment that I’ve seen).

From the same people, the main objection to the Liberals in Ontario seems to be that Kathleen Wynne is (supposedly) unattractive.

The only reason to continue allowing such people to vote is that it isn’t practical to exclude them.
