All eyes on Andrea Horwath this week in Ontario.
Open letter to Ontario NDP and Liberals: Working together is first step in addressing poverty | May 14 2013 | Brent Hawkes, Buzz Hargrove | We are asking the NDP and the Liberals to co-operate and pass the budget (possibility with some tweaking). However we are frankly asking for much more.
After the Ontario election | Oct 10 2011 | Gerry Caplan | Don't be fooled by all the analysts. Dalton McGuinty is king of Ontario. Whether or not he finally gets the magic 54 seats required for a formal majority, the province is his.
Its election day, Ontario! Don't let Sun media turn you off voting | Oct 6 2011 | rabble staff | It's election day in Ontario, and Sun media is doing what it can to grow voter apathy. Don't let them turn you off voting.
The 1985 Liberal-NDP Accord and the upcoming Ontario election | Oct 5 2011 | Gerry Caplan | This Ontario election sounds a lot like the scenario in 1985 that led to the unprecedented and never-repeated Accord -- capital A -- between David Peterson's Liberals and Bob Rae's NDP.
Ontario's stimulating election platforms | Oct 5 2011 | Erin Weir | A common refrain has been that all of Ontario's election platforms are unrealistic given a deteriorating economic outlook. We should evaluate how each party's platform would fare in a downturn.
Hudak's hate: Ontario PCs court the bigot vote | Oct 3 2011 | Ethan Cox | If you vote for Hudak and the Ontario "Progressive" Conservatives this Thursday, you'll be sending a message. A message that spewing hatred and preaching bigotry are an effective way to get elected.
Wali Farah, running for the NDP in Ottawa-South, was one of the provincial election candidates called in to speak to Muslim youth in Ottawa.
Getting the Muslim youth vote out in Ontario | Oct 3 2011 | Chelby Marie Daigle | Organizing the first Voice of Muslim Youth provincial election engagement session, I found young people readily respond once they realize how much their lives are impacted by politics and politicians.
Provincial Elections -- everything you wanted to know on babble.ca | Oct 3 2011 | Meg Borthwick | With five provincial elections taking place today and over the coming weeks, it's hard to keep track of them all. Here's a few links to elections discussions on babble.
Horwath in heels | Sep 30 2011 | Michael Stewart | The ONDP is running a series of ads featuring orange high heels in an effort to get the people of Ontario to vote for a feminist party. They're doing it wrong.
Voters across Canada will have best gov't big money can buy | Sep 30 2011 | Democracy Watch | No matter which party wins the Ontario election, wealthy interests will have been able to use too-large donations of up to $31,000 to buy influence with the provincial government.
Ontario Election Debate
Horwath wins Ontario debate: MSM miss the boat | Sep 29 2011 | Ethan Cox | The mainstream media are telling us the Ontario election debate was a wash, with no clear winner. But a quick look at Ipsos-Reid's post-debate poll tells a different story.
Progressive public policy in the Ontario election | Sep 29 2011 | Alice Klein | As we head to the polls in Ontario, the irony is that whenever lefties gather these days, someone asks whether it's the NDP or the Liberals who are the most progressive party running in this election.
CCPA comparison of three Ontario election platforms | Sep 29 2011 | Jim Stanford | Hugh Mackenzie of the CCPA has prepared a comprehensive comparison of the election platforms of the three major parties in Ontario's election.

Rallying for respect and against the silencing of Toronto | Sep 29 2011 | Elizabeth Littlejohn | Agitprop resistance provoked by anger against the 'Nightmayor' of Toronto, Rob Ford, is flourishing, not least because of the severity of his attacks and the ridiculousness of his paranoid reactions.
Tim Hudak's got a $10 billion hole and nothing to say | Sep 28 2011 | Hugh Mackenzie | If Tuesday's Ontario leader's debate was a poker game, the player with the biggest bluff to carry off was Conservative leader Tim Hudak.
