We're willing to marshal our resources to support an OLP leader who will put people before politics.

We need someone willing to make a one-time deal with the NDP and Greens to defeat Doug Ford.

Think it's pointless because NDP won't make a deal? Guess again.

#onpoli #olp
How can Cooperation work if the NDP won't Cooperate? Step 1. The Liberals and Greens work together and make an attractive, genuine, good faith off to the NDP. Arrows branch off. The first arrow points to NDP AGREES. Best Case Scenario. Everyone works together. This leads to an image of Doug Ford with a red X over him. The other arrow points to NDP DISAGREES. On to Plan B. Step 2: Publicize the offer of cooperation. The details leak. Step 3: The Liberals and Greens work together. The bad publicity depresses the NDP vote so the vote does not split in as many ridings This leads to the same picture of Doug Ford with a red X over him. Hey NDP! This also works if YOU offer to cooperate first. Can't wait until the next election? Neither can we. NotOneSeat.ca

The next scheduled election is years away, but there are things we can to do now to get Ford (and those like him) out later

Also, here's the video with NOS supporter Roberta Tevlin about the Electoral Reform resolution she's bringing to the OLP www.youtube.com/watch?v=BL21...

Sick of Doug Ford? Sick of strategically voting to get rid of Doug Ford and ending up with him anyway? So Are We but it’s a long, long time until the next election Here’s how you can help us now We’re starting by pushing the Ontario Liberal Party to adopt a policy resolution to support Electoral Reform We want to accelerate this process by connecting with as many Local Riding Associations as possible at the AGM later this month If you are a member, know a member, or are willing to join the OLP, you can help connect us. Get in touch with us: info@notoneseat.ca Image of Doug Ford with a red X over him. NotOneSeat.ca Can't wait until the next election? Neither can we. Why the OLP? Both the NDP and Greens had something about electoral reform, but the OLP did not. With the current chaos, this is a good opportunity to bring about change What electoral system are you pushing for? We’re following Fair Vote Canada’s lead and pushing for a nonpartisan Citizen’s Assembly on reform: instead of politicians picking a system that favours themselves, let the citizens decide what would be best Aren’t you the strategic voting people? We are the “Ford sucks” people. We want him gone & we aren’t picky about how. But ultimately, Ford wins because our electoral system isn’t working Does this mean you want to get rid of Bonnie Crombie? If Bonnie’s aims align with ours, we like Bonnie. If there’s someone else who seems better able to get rid of Doug Ford—especially if they are pragmatic about how—we like them better. Help us spread the word by sharing this message, & sign our open letter so we can get in touch if we need help between now and the next election Want More Information?

Basically, Poilievre is very uncomfortable with honesty and transparency, and really big on deflection and attacks.

It's no wonder he has so much in common with Trump.

Why haven’t you been re-cleared? Poilievre: You know, this is why I don’t like journalists. Always with the questions. I’m going to defund you all! Stay away from my plane!

We're not sure what the NDP can do to save their incumbents now. But the repeated attacks on the party they were successfully working with doesn't seem to be it.

Divisive partisanship is so American. Canadian politicians can do better.

#cdnpoli #CanadaVotes2025 #neverpoilievre
The Conservatives are polling high, but the Liberals are headed for a majority. Why? Because the NDP are being decimated. Historically, the CPC has never lost when they polled this high, because the centre/left vote is split. But without the split, they cannot win. A cooperative approach could have preserved a diversity of political voices in Parliament, and still prevented Poilievre from winning. Cooperation: It's Positively Un-American Picture of the Ontario NDP, Green and Liberal Opposition Leaders together. Wouldn't work together. Can't do much for Ontario.
