One ad is seemingly not for any party, just advising the public not to vote for the Liberal Party. Another ad is just black text on a white screen and a robotic voice saying that Andrea Horvath is corrupt and directing to a website.

Like literally the only normal campaign ad I've seen is for the NDP.

WTF is going on?

    The biggest hurdle for the Ontario NDP is that they're still associated with Bob Rae. I'm a transplant from the prairies (c. 2005) and I've noticed that opinions on Bob Rae's administration are very clearly divided.

      I blame his continued unpopularity in no small part to the catchiness of "Rae Days" as a phrase. The fact that it was nearly 30 years ago and people still bring it up is absurd - especially since by any account Harris was much more destructive.

      At the moment, people have decided that Howarth is unpopular because she hasn't won after three elections (despite currently bringing the party to opposition). I've never heard a legit critique of her - just vague handwavings about how she doesn't do enough (despite hammering the gov every day, she never gets any press about it) or how she's a bad politician. She's toxic because people who would never vote NDP have declared her toxic.
