Alas, the leaders of the four main provincial parties engaged in only one debate and it turned out to be a genteel 90-minute exchange of ideas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It was definitely in sharp contrast to the verbal knife fight viewers witnessed when the contestants for the current leadership of the federal Conservative Party took off the gloves in two televised debates leading up to the September 10 vote.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I love democracy and a burst of enthusiasm and support for the process every few years is just what we need\u2014especially in these days when respect for and confidence in our democratic institutions is under siege thanks in part to the pitiful state of politics in the U.S.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Barring something unexpected in the dying days, the results of the June 2<sup>nd<\/sup> vote have been pretty well tracked since the opening gun and Doug Ford is sleep-walking his way back to the corner office at Queen\u2019s Park\u2014possibly with another majority government.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even the Liberal-leaning <em>Toronto Star<\/em> could not bring itself to urge voters to throw out Ford\u2019s Tories. Its election editorial on the last weekend before the vote went only as far as calling for strategic voting by progressives to ensure Ford is denied a majority.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For the Fordites, this has been a remarkably gaffe-free campaign.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He and his team have been accused of running a peek-a-boo campaign but there\u2019s not a political advisor on the planet who would suggest this is a bad strategy. If you\u2019re winning the war, why expose yourself and your troops to unnecessary risk and harm?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ford is a frustrating opponent. People are attracted to his folksy persona and his appeal to both drivers of pricey electric vehicles and second-hand pickups.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Folks might not always agree with what Ford is telling them but he\u2019s talking to them in language they understand. He\u2019s the guy next door who helps you shovel your sidewalk or boost your battery\u2014not the slick politician or bureaucrat who lectures, hectors, and beats around the bush. To many, he is unsophisticated but a breath of fresh air.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Critics say he\u2019s a phoney\u2014that he might have a big heart but the object of his affection is his developer and donor friends. They say his promise to build a new Highway 413 connecting suburbs in the Peel region west of Toronto will swell developers\u2019 pockets while swallowing up farmland and protected areas of forest and wetlands.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Supporters of the highway\u2014including commuters and private sector unions\u2014see critically needed additional housing and other economic development and the jobs that go with it.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ordinary voters like most of us don\u2019t know which side is right and we can only hope and trust in the wisdom and honesty of those we elect.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Me? I\u2019m voting strategically.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If Doug Ford is re-elected premier\u2014and especially if he gets a majority mandate\u2014it is critical that we have a strong government caucus to advise and help direct the government for the next four years. We are living in troubled economic times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The countdown to election day 2022 has begun. It\u2019s almost all over but the shouting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Get out there and vote\u2014it will at the very least give you the right to criticize and complain.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignleft size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"200\" height=\"301\" src=\"https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2020\/10\/Sally-Barnes.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-90772\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Sally&nbsp;Barnes has enjoyed a distinguished career as a writer, journalist and author.
