@RichardCityNews Those numbers are brutal. One bit of context: very low turnout isn’t unusual for Ontario byelections. The bigger concern may be the broader trend — turnout in Ontario general elections fell from 63% in 1995 to just 45% in 2025. That’s worth paying attention to. 1.5K views · 71 likes · 12 reposts · 4 replies Open on X →

@RichardCityNews The election turnout was extremely low and frankly unacceptable. We owe it to our community and our democracy to do better. Every voice matters, and it’s clear we need to step up our efforts to engage, inform, and participate in the next election. 975 views · 58 likes · 14 reposts · 1 replies Open on X →

It was a status quo night in three Ontario by elections. The PC’s hold Hamilton East-Stoney Creek where a Trump bump perhaps helped the party in the manufacturing heavy region. PC’s also hold York Simcoe, and the NDP hold Scarborough Southwest. Turnout was less than 30%. 26K views · 33 likes · 13 reposts · 10 replies Open on X →
