Twitter wants to #VoteFordOut2022 but that isn't going to make it happen. Most Ontarians aren't even on twitter.

In this thread, we break down our plan to elect a better government. 🧵

Going into this election, Doug Ford is a little weaker than he was in 2018, the Liberals are a little stronger and the NDP is a little weaker. We can expect Ford to lose a few seats, and if we flip a few more we can ensure a minority -- meaning he will have to compromise.

Deep canvassing -- meaningful conversations at the door with lots of listening -- is proven to work.

So we're gathering and summarizing materials on many key issues like health, education, the environment and housing, so that we can go to the doors, ask people what THEY care about and start the conversation there.

Once you know what issues motivate someone, you can work through their voting options with them -- and guess what -- Doug Ford is bad on almost every issue because he always puts land speculators and the wealthy ahead of everyone else.

In the last election, 12 ridings were determined by less than 1000 votes! And only 50-60% of Ontarians voted. Considering that the PCs will likely get slightly less votes, we only need to create a couple hundred new voters in those ridings to flip them.

If you want to help, we will provide online deep canvassing training and materials -- all we need is volunteers.

You don't need to do it alone -- we would only send canvassers out in groups with two people going to each door.

Yes, talking to strangers can be awkward at first -- but it can't possibly be worse than 4 more years of terrifying Doug Ford press conferences.
