When I publish public polling during an election, I make a point of declining my ballot or leaving it blank. It’s a longstanding practice to keep my own political preferences separate from my work. Today in Toronto, I cast a blank ballot. #TOpoli

My polling station in Eglinton–Lawrence was busy, but voting was quick. Thanks to everyone who followed @LiaisonCanada’s polling throughout the campaign, and to the election workers keeping things moving today. Good luck to all candidates. Get out and vote! #TOpoli

Ontario's data centre playbook is good! Meets people where they are and addresses a lot of their concerns, particularly electricity costs, and focuses on data sovereignty.
