   I expect pretty low turnout again. As you suggested weather has   
   some effect but you could also vote by mail with a bit of online   
   hassle to avoid driving to the polling stations.   
      
   The biggest issue may be that, although medium to lower income   
   people normally tend to not vote for the Conservatives, things   
   have not been totally horrible under Ford and people have been   
   down on the Liberals for a while now.. and the NDP party plans   
   generally want to bankrupt the Province by giving things they   
   can't afford to the lower income people.   
      
   I think the federal election will more of a zoo.. I'd have a   
   hard time wanting any of those running put in charge..
