Especially the 57% who didn't vote. I thought they were much more involved in their government than that.

That non-vote number is appalling, wtf is wrong with Ontario voters.

I really hope that doesn't happen here in Alberta next year, we need our Cons gone.

Turns out this looks to be the lowest voter turnout in Ontario since Confederation. Wow.

The apathy election? Ontario sees lowest voter turnout in history, early data suggests
