Guest: Toronto Star Queen’s Park Bureau Chief Robert Benzie
On the one hand, Doug Ford won a third straight majority (the first such feat by a premier in Ontario since the 1950s). On the other hand, he doesn’t seem happy about it, because he wanted more seats. The Star’s Robert Benzie explains why, and looks at the similar dark cloud/silver lining result faced by other parties (and shares former premier David Peterson’s observation about why winning too big is as much a curse as a blessing). He also breaks down the results, and the turnout (NOT the worst participation rate ever, FWIW), and discusses the prospects for long-simmering issues such as health care to come to the surface now that the election is over.
PLUS: Why you could consider this a “Seinfeld” election
This episode was produced by Julia De Laurentiis Johnston, Ed Keenan and Paulo Marques.
