Premier Doug Ford is widely expected to win a strong minority, if not an outright majority, in Ontario’s provincial election tomorrow. The CJN’s political columnist, Josh Lieblein, agrees with the consensus—but there are still plenty of Jewish stories to watch.
Dianne Saxe, a high-profile Jewish candidate, will try and break ground for the Greens in downtown Toronto; parents of Jewish day school students may punish Ford’s government for keeping schools closed for so long; and anyone concerned about the rising wave of antisemitism and Holocaust denial, on the streets and in public schools, must have questions for the government that’s been in power over the last four years.
Lieblein, who has written more than 20 columns about Ontario’s 43rd general election, makes his debut on The CJN Daily to explain what you should know heading into voting day, and what ridings are worth watching through a Jewish lens.
