We are missing the point if this story becomes about Justin Trudeau being unveiled as "a racist". Here is an opportunity to think more deeply about the situation and what allows it to be so. I'm not in any way surprised by the image that has been circulated. /1
For a non-partisan organization tasked with accurately explaining how elections work in our province, @ElectionsON has failed us in this regard. I hope that steps will be taken to fix this, as spreading this kind of misinformation in the current climate is irresponsible
From @ElectionsON#onelxn handbook: “The Party that wins the most seats [...] becomes the governing party, and its leader becomes the Premier.” This is a dangerous oversimplification (if not partially inaccurate), especially given the expected result of the election
Polling suggests that the election is becoming more a battle between the @OntarioPCParty and @OntarioNDP for minority govt status. Just because one of them wins a plurality of seats does not mean that they will get to stay on as a government. That is decided by parliament
