The Ontario NDP's win in 1990 was my introduction to Ontario politics, partly because it seemed *everyone* was talking about it being such a big deal, but also because my Grade 11 Entrepreneurship teacher talked about the results in class. Specifically, despite him apparently being an NDP supporter (according to a fellow student), my teacher wrote "NDP" on the board and said voters were really voting "No David Peterson"! I thought his point was rather amusing, and it made me interested in following Ontario politics more closely.
Could I request a small addition to future If the Election Were Held Today infographic? A simple ‘Majority: X’ in the header of each region. I am not as up on the size of the legislatures across the country as many of my peers may be.
Maybe it was just a rumour, but I saw a comment on Poilievre to the effect that as prime minister he would not be bound by decisions of the convention. Is this a Harper imitation?

Any idea where we can find old election platforms? Would be interested in the details on the big issues in the 1990 ON election.
Also anit-bilingualism in Ontario 1990 was an issue? Was this in response to bill 101? Or was something else at play?
