The Ontario Legislature takes a 102 day break - When a party can win unchecked power with 40% of the vote, accountability becomes optional.

Proportional representation would prevent governments from sidelining the legislature and would require cooperation instead of unilateral control.
Not voting is still a choice. We don't get to be let off the hook because we couldn't be arsed to vote for someone else. It's universal that the lower the turnout, the better conservative candidates do; not voting is simply a vote for the conservatives! This is squarely Ontario voter's fault.
Are y'all sure they aren't manipulating the tallies? Down here in the US it sure looks like the Republicans tried to steal the 2020 election and failed, and succeeded in 2024
There was nothing anomalous or unexpected about the results. Ontario sucks.
Strange that you arrived at a puritannical explanation where our problems are a result of the moral impurity of individuals and not systemic failure. But sure, you don't harbour conservative values.
The last Ontario election was pretty much deliberately planned to minimize voter turnout—bad timing and so little public information that many people didn't even realize it was happening. You can't vote in an election that you don't even know is taking place.
