Not only should you vote, but be aware of:

  • what kind of candidate you are voting for, such as their prior history (we don't vote by political party in Ontario)
  • what policies they endorse (and don't endorse)
  • whether policies are actually good for Ontario

Does anyone know any (unbiased) sites that summarize the party platforms?

From what I have heard, none of the parties aside from the Greens even have a platform. Even their websites are pretty bare this late into the election.

Just saw a Steve Boots video summarizing all the parties' positions.

Though amusingly, the Cons don't have anything even now. You can just feel the contempt they have for democracy as a whole when they throw a snap election, but then hardly participate while breaking election rules.

Piling on here with a recently released cbc article noting that Doug Ford wants to be premier “forever”, it’s ominous in tone with the current state of affairs in the states.
