To the editor:
"You're going to split the vote!!!" That is something candidates from newly formed or alternative parties hear all the time. The idea of split voting is a fear-mongering myth perpetuated by the Three Big Parties. They want you to vote out of fear and believe the province will be in chaos. This is how they maintain their monopoly in government.
Democracy is not supposed to be about voting out of fear of something worse, but voting FOR something YOU BELIEVE IN. The time is now to take back Ontario! Send a message that Ontario is no longer going to accept whipped MPP voting, unethical Corporate welfare, unfair government contracts and legislation that does not protect the rights of all Ontario citizens!
Governments and MPPs have programmed you to believe that if they are voted in, they can do what they want for the next four years. This is not acceptable! They only won the most ridings in Ontario but not every citizen voted for that party. They need to remember that the voting process gives them a great responsibility to ensure they run government with democracy, integrity, law and transparency!
Don't vote out of fear. Vote out of a desire for REAL change.
Vote with HOPE...for a better future for you, your family, and for Ontario!

Candidate for Thunder Bay-Superior North for the Trillium Party of Ontario
