There are still lots of hours left to vote today (and the weather seems a bit better than this morning...)

Plenty of time to get out there and mark your ballot!

Ontario: GO VOTE!

Explainer: How will Canada's next prime minister be chosen? Canada's ruling Liberal Party is choosing a new leader to replace Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, who said in January he was stepping down after growing dissatisfaction over his performance. The result is due to be announced on March 9.

Here's an explainer about how the new Liberal Leader and Prime Minister will be chosen by the Liberal Party. Notice that they get to use ranked ballots to choose their leader... We'd like to have the same ability to choose Toronto's leaders, too!

Thanks @ontarioliberal.bsky.social candidates for taking our pledge to restore local choice: Walter Alvarez-Bardales, Alex Hilson, and Clayton Moore!

We hope for support of voting reform from the Liberal Party & @bonnieforontario.bsky.social, too.

Thanks to Ontario NDP candidates who have taken the RaBIT pledge so far: Brooklin Wallis and Jodi Szimanski!

We're still looking for a commitment to restoring local choice at the municipal level. 🤞 @maritstilesndp.bsky.social
