Alright, readers… as we head into the weekend, let’s look at how our community feels about your next MPP. It’s the most significant election question of them all (and one we may ask more than once before February 27):

The four candidates with party status are listed in alphabetical order. Additional candidates under ‘Other’ include Michael Butt – Libertarian Party; Ann Gillies – Stop the New Sex-Ed Agenda; and Vincent Grimaldi – New Blue Party. Responses are completely anonymous to other respondents and to our publication.
