The votes are in.
The Ontario PCโs have won the 2018 general election, making Doug Ford the provinceโs new Premier.
Following Fordโs unsurprising win, social media is abuzz with reactions. And while much of the province seems hopeful and optimistic, the tweets have two decidedly different tones.
WE DIIIIID IT!!!! ๐ #FordNation

But not everyone is as excited about Ford’s win.
I’m so nervous. I really don’t want Donal Trump 2.0 as premier. #ElectionsOntario

#ElectionsOntario Very sad day for Ontario if these #’s hold up. I hope every single person who voted conservative gets sick and can’t get health care. You don’t deserve it. Goodbye all social services under Trump jr

Honestly, politics aside, Doug Ford just isnโt a good human. I cannot fathom our premier being a carbon copy of Donald trump. I just canโt. #ElectionsOntario #onpoli #MacVotes

What a disappointment Ontario. My heart hurts. We have to fight for women’s rights, sex ed education, and keeping nurses and teachers over the next few years #ElectionsOntario
