My buddy is a muckity muck on the Ontario PC campaign. He has the NDP winning at the moment. - Name Withheld by Request May 22, 08:33 13
- This is exactly the same scenario as Alberta 2015. -- nm - Reagen May 22, 08:34 7

    - Christine Elliott must be shooting daggers through anyone that gets close to her these days. -- nm - Reagen May 22, 08:40 5
      - Yeah, but I personally have a tough time feeling like she was wronged. Three attempts, twice as a front runner, and three losses. - Name Withheld by Request May 22, 08:46 4
        
        I mean maybe, but everyone was saying "jeebus, not Ford" which just made some people Ford harder - Reagen May 22, 09:11 3

        The correct answer is "It Depends". When there are structural organization problems, who is to really say that Mulroney or Elliot would have... - Name Withheld by Request May 22, 09:21

  - "you'll just make him angry and wreck a perfectly good bus." -- nm - Reagen May 22, 08:35 3
    - I'm told it's as much organization as leader. A lot of candidate issues making it harder for the main leadership message. Weak policy announcements. - Name Withheld by Request May 22, 08:40 2

Police used a stun gun on Milwaukee Bucks rookie Sterling Brown -- without provocation -- (link) - Beaker May 22, 07:24 12
- Does every police department in the country need to be overhauled? And I'm not sure it would be all that helpful as the rotten apples - Krusty May 22, 07:31 11
  - It remains the case that something like 90% of police misconduct complaints are filed against something like 10% of cops. So I'm not sure an overhaul - pmb May 22, 08:11 1
    - That protection comes from up top as well as the rest of the departments. Getting rid of those 10% is a good start but they also need to get rid - Krusty May 22, 08:44
  - on the positive side, he is still alive..... -- nm - groiny May 22, 07:45 6

  - To make sure they’re intact? - znufrii May 22, 07:12 2
    - Yup. They don't usually have to feel them and will just look to make sure they're intact. They feel their bodies for many reasons but usually don't - Krusty May 22, 07:24 1
