To be fair, COVID-19 was also a factor in 2020

"Hacked" is misused all the time. "My Facebook got hacked" or "My email got hacked" generally means that the person clicked on something they shouldn't have/leaked their credentials

Not voting is not a way to achieve that though. As of now, parties get funding based on the number of votes they receive, so people should go out and vote even if the candidate they want to win doesn't have a good chance.

Do vote. Parties get funding related to the number of votes they get, so it's at least a little bit helpful for the future.

Part of the reason they're reliant on that is because of Ford's government. They put a freeze on tuition five years ago. In theory, that's good for local students. However, the costs of operating the schools have gone up. Colleges helped make up the shortfall by increasing the number of international students. This effectively subsidized their domestic classmates.

 

“Not only has (Premier Doug) Ford walked away from post-secondary education, he’s shifted the responsibility of financing our colleges, a public good, onto students and institutions,” JP Hornick, president of OPSEU and faculty at George Brown College, said in a prepared statement.

Apparently Doug doesn't have a problem with Trump's idea of Canada becoming part of the US. It was only Trump doing the tariff thing that he's promised forever that caught Doug off guard

Unfortunately, that's all political ads these days. "The other side is bad...." with nothing about how the people can be better served by the party behind the ad.
