It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:

Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.

Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.

Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.

Ontario isn't good at voting. Our voter turnout is abysmal. Add to that there is a contingent of people who think they are folksy when in reality they are ignorant, and voila: Shitty politicians flourish. Add to that our center party (Liberals) did whatever they wanted for years and our Left wing party (NDP) had... I don't even know how to properly describe her style other than "not helpful for a political career", and Ford gets to do whatever he wants.
