CBC’s Metro Morning confirms the obvious: nobody pays attention to Queen’s Park

Anyone who cares about provincial politics may want to sit down before listening to the first two minutes of this segment from today’s Metro Morning. The radio show had a reporter stand on John Street, where she asked more than a dozen passers-by to identify the three leaders of Ontario’s major provincial parties. At least three people didn’t know who Kathleen Wynne was (she’s the premier of Ontario, for anyone still wondering). Someone thought Olivia Chow was a party leader. In the end, only one person was able to ID Wynne, Andrea Horwath and Tim Hudak without difficulty.
We now have about a month to go until the next provincial election—an election that may determine the future of public transit in Toronto, among other things. If this unscientific sample is anything to go by, the candidates are going to need to print up a few more lawn signs.
Makes one think that it’s true that one gets the leaders one deserves.
makes one think if we live in a functioning democracy
Makes Obie One Kinobie think that it’s true that Obie One Kinobie gets the leaders Obie One Kinobie deserves. lol
I am sure 90% of the city couldn’t have named who the Mayor of Toronto was at any time before October of 2010.
As long as Jimmy Hudak doesn’t get in I don’t care!!!
I find it hilarious that you think proper English is something to be made fun of.
something “Donny Osmondesque” about him
