The Writ Race May 20, 2018

Thirty days. Thirty podcasts! Dave Trafford, Executive Producer of iContact Productions and John Wright, CEO - Insight of Dart Insight and Communications  take a daily swipe at the Ontario campaign until election day on June 7th. They chase the race and follow the leaders. What should you expect? What didn't you expect in this campaign? Day 12: The latest Abacus Poll shows the collapse of the Liberal vote and the NDP is within the margin of error of Doug Ford's PCs. It's Game On! and the game is clearly an NDP - PC showdown with 17 days to election day in Ontario. If politics is the art of the possible then it will be interesting to see how Andrea Horwath and Doug Ford manage 'the possibilities'?

Day 11: NDP Leader Andrea Horwath slaps Kathleen Wynne with her gauntlet then throws it down in front of Doug Ford. Horwath says Wynne is not a factor in this election. It's down to her and Doug Ford.

Thirty days. Thirty podcasts! Dave Trafford, Executive Producer of iContact Productions and John Wright, CEO - Insight of Dart Insight and Communications  take a daily swipe at the Ontario campaign until election day on June 7th. They chase the race and follow the leaders. What should you expect? What didn't you expect in this campaign? Day 10: More than a third of the way through Ontario Election 2018! And it looks like the Ballot Question is "Do you want change" and the resounding answer is "HELL YA!". The problem here is voting for 'change' is a dangerous thing. It avoids or ignores issues that are facing Ontarians - issues that are going to have an effect on the way people live and work in this province for the next 50 years. The infrastructure/transit file is a perfect example of too many chefs in the kitchen. We will end up with an overpriced meal that no one wants to eat! Then there's the 'STINK' over the next three weeks for the Tories. Today, the York Regional Police Fraud Unit has confirmed they've launched an investigation into the alleged data breach at 407 ETR and accusations that the stolen data was used to create IDs in order to nominate PC candidates. John Wright says the post Victoria Day polls will set the tone and pace for the final 15 days of the campaign.

They chase the race and follow the leaders. What should you expect? What didn't you expect in this campaign? DAY 9: More accusations of scandal levelled at the PCs. But John Wright points out, the Tories have dealt with each one quickly. The Premier tried to call out insurance companies for basing auto premiums on where drivers live. The problem is, it opened her up to criticism about her government's inability to follow through on a promise to lower rates.

They chase the race and follow the leaders. What should you expect? What didn't you expect in this campaign? Day 8: The Liberals are calling out the Tories for two controversial candidates but that seems to be helping the NDP. Doug Ford's PCs commit to cutting 10 cents off the price at the gas pumps but can't/won't say how they'll make up the $1 billion gap in revenue. All three parties say they'll have to run deficits!

Day 7: Here we are at the quarter turn in this election race and the latest Ipsos polling reinforces what Dave and John have been saying the past few days. This has quickly turned in to a race between the NDP and the PCs. Doug Ford's Tories still lead with 40% but Andrea Horwath's New Democrats are surging.

Day 6: The Liberals and the NDP tripped over their own messages today and ended up having to respond to the media's agenda. Ford was on message but still isn't ready to cost out his promises. The primary motivation for the large majority of voters is 'just get her to hell out."
