ANALYSIS: Can Liberals put 2018 behind them and pull off the upset?

The Forum poll is consistent with other polls over the past couple of weeks. It show the Tories ahead in the GTA with the support of 38 per cent of decided and leaning voters. The Liberals are in second with the support of 31 per cent of decided and leaning voters while the NDP are in third with the support of 25 per cent of decided and leaning voters.

It’s likely good news for a party that was reduced to seven seats in the last election, losing official party status in the process. But there are still a number of challenges for the Liberals if they want to pull off a huge upset and win on election day.Job one for the Liberal team will be to introduce and sell the party’s leader. Del Duca won the Liberal leadership contest just days before the COVID-19 pandemic shut down Ontario. Without a seat in the legislature, Del Duca struggled to get coverage for the past two years.

Meanwhile, both the PCs and the NDP counter each announcement with reminders of the policies of the past Liberal government. The Tories want to keep the Liberal vote supressed as much as possible and the NDP need to keep the progressive vote in their column on June 2. The Liberals will need to prevent either part from succeeding in those objectives.The province-wide televised debate will be a critical moment for the Liberals and Del Duca.

Dominion voting machines counting?

They will if everyone has collective amnesia since the last time they were in power.

I certainly hope not! Vote fordnation ! He has made mistakes; but, he is still the right person for Ontario. onpoli GilaMartow

If Duca is their best then no thank you. I havent forgotten Dalton-Kathleen blunders yet

Not with DeLuca as leader he was a Wynne crony too much Liberal baggage

too many back door deals, don't trust him

No

Nope

No

Helllllll NO. Lies and Promises that’s all this liberal government will provide.

Dream on

No.

No

Work with NDP. More people don’t want Ford than do.

Vote split. Liberals in power federally. History has shown Ontario mostly votes the opposite of who is in power federally. That being said there's a small chance

Not a chance

Judging for all the responses before me, I do not think so!!

No

Does anyone remember what Ford promised in the last election? He was going to buy back hydro. Why are you not talking about this issue? We have this short time to see who Steven is. Give him a chance CP24.

No more Liberals! We have enough debt and problems to continue wasting taxpayers money on nonsense.

No. Only the OntarioNDP can beat Ford.

Ndp time

Libs will lose

As much as Ford is a degenerate criminal, and Horvath has as good a chance as I do of winning, Del Duca accomplished absolutely nothing when Wynne burned Ontario to the ground. He is NOT the lesser of the evils this time. OntarioElection2022 OntarioVotes

Not a chance in hell….

No

Doubtfully.

I’m sure the media will do it’s part like always

Nope! Deep wounds from that bunch… Dalton should of been arrested.

Join forces with NDP and it's doable. Absolutely no one wants Horvath if we did she would be Premier already.

They need to come up with some like “we promise we won’t be katheryn Wynn anymore” to pull off the upset 😂

Nope. Absolutely nope.

Let’s hope not!!! We already have a fiberal leader in Ottawa and look how well that’s going

Probably not because Ontario is stupid.

NO.....

Easy. No.

Doubtful 😢

No liberals, already dealing with a goon as PM and that's enough 😔

Not a chance in hell.

😂

The Ontario Liberals under Peterson, Rae (who is now Liberal), McGinty and Wynne has caused the province to decline economically according to any comparative metric. The fact this party gets one seat is appalling.

no.

🤣

Yup 😼

Not with this guy

Not with mr. Howdy Doody at the helm.

Your just going to get another Wynne leadership with Del - Duca

Lol! No.

Yes

If that happens good luck to all!!!

No

I am not optimistic, Liberals will do better than 2018 though. Their strategy that if they reverse all that Ford government has done they would win and that is stupid

They haven’t gotten better since. They need to put everyone behind and revamp the party. So no, gtfo

More chance of bursting into flames!

We do not soon forget.

Np. We see what the federal liberals did. The provincial liberals will obviously stand behind their overlord. Doug Ford needs to continue out of all these pathetic people representing the people

Biggest joke is AndreaHorwath thinking she's 'the only one who can beat Ford.' I predict it will be close fordnation and StevenDelDuca on election day and the NDP will be lucky to get the 18 seats she had before 2018. If you want to defeat Ford, Del Duca is the only option.

No!

No

Hahahahaha. No bald person has ever won a leadership race in history of Canada.

Why would anyone vote liberal after the lead ontario down the gutter for 30 years? Did you know ontario has more debt than any entity in the world that is not a country? Let that sink in. Disaster.

They are a disaster, already

Not without a coalition. No.

Narrator: No.

No

seriously media stop , no polls have this as possible , the new forum poll has the pc's ahead in most areas of toronto except the downtown core and rest of the province is the same , northern ontario might be a wipeout and zero liberals this year

Liberals are good at pulling off

I hope to God no

Not with this guy leading.

😂😂😂no fucking chance

NO thx...

I hope so

Hope not

Stop trying to make it look like they’re coming from behind they’re probably winning and you’re trying to make it look like a Ford is winning to get more votes for the liberals !

Why would this be an upset?

Absolutely not

Not with that who face running things

I don’t care if they pull off an upset. Just hold the PCretins to a minority, turf them early on, and whoever is opposition leader take over.

NOPPPPPPPPE

Ontario voters have a nasty habit of forgetting the past and chasing the promise. We even had an NDP government for a short time. The Unions and other special interests will also have a large part to play if individuals refuse to do their own research.

With Del Duca as their leader, No.

We have to keep Dougie in if we don’t want to be told to live your life in fear.

Maybe, if Kathleen Wynne didn’t leave such a mess and so much anger behind.

Depends on how many mail in ballots come in

Nope… People are fed up with the Fiberals.

Spoiler Alert: No.

I’ll be leaving Ontario permanently since it’ll be rolling lockdowns and masks for minimum 4 years

You keep running the left wing agenda and they won’t.

Nope. Never.

There are $300 billion reasons that won’t happen
