I work remotely so hiding it from work isn't hard but my coworkers are all very conservative (allegedly they played "spot the tranny" during lunch one day and my friend in the office vented to me) and I want my voice to be better/more consistent anyways.

- there's an election on Thursday (June 7th) for the Ontario provincial government
- Kathleen Wynne of the Ontario Liberals has run the party since 2013 and she's seen two wins. her first was a minority government (where you have the most seats but not more than 50%) and then a majority government.
- Wynne's Liberals won 53 seats last election and projections show them winning 1 this election
- it's now a toss up between the New Democratic Party and the Progressive Conservatives (headed up by Andrea Horwath and Doug Ford respectively)
- here's a political compass from CBC to help demonstrate where the parties sit
