I just want to be able to pay for my own healthcare. I'll gladly
continue to support public healthcare. But waiting 6-8 months to get the
"free" (if you don't value your quality of life) MRI in Ontario when you
can cross the river to Québec where you can pay and get it next week is
absurd. But apparently everyone thinks we'll turn into the USA if we so
much as think about letting any kind of free market exist in this space.
Cheers

Nice topic. Did anyone see Singh's "reality check" speech at SOS
Medicare?

Reality checks seem almost as good as money cheques :)

Looking at the actual Ontario results, 330Canada underestimated the
NDP and overestimated the PCs. The NDP results were on the very upper
edge of what it said was possible and much greater than what it said
was likely, and the PC results on the lower edge. Liberals and Greens
were spot-on.
The results are also a strong argument for proportional
representation, or at least ranked voting.

If you want to vote strategically, so as to prevent any given party

is excellent for

* making projections on likelihood of any particular outcome.
If your own party is falling behind, and not likely to win, but
another party is doing better and could work to unseat a party you
would prefer to not
win, then the results show which party could work to your advantage
in the pursuit of that objective.
The site reports on their accuracy for previous predictions:

The site provides details for every region of Canada, both Federal
and Provincial, and list a number of current and recent electoral
races:
