Dude hasn't had a real job, so having things handed to him like this is prob second nature for him.

Where's the Rhinoceros Party when you need them? There's no chance in hell that riding flips for the Liberals, and likely not for the NDP, but an independent running on a platform of "hear me out, this will be hilarious" just might stand a chance.

Damn I thought this dude might actually be gone. This feels really unfair. He doesn't give a shit about that area, so much for local representation

That's going to be entertaining to see a liberal win that seat well

[-] danielquinn@lemmy.ca 6 points 1 week ago

It's an Alberta riding that went 82% Conservative in the last election. It's highly unlikely.

[-] Arkouda@lemmy.ca 6 points 1 week ago

About as unlikely as going from a projected super majority to an 8% chance of forming a Government?

[-] TheFeatureCreature@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 week ago

It's a riding in deep-blue Alberta. Not going to happen.

[-] Treczoks@lemmy.world 9 points 1 week ago

A chance to take another seat from them. Heck, if he loses there, too, he might even try again!

See a lot of post just about the 81.8%(53,502) of votes, but the bigger thing is that it's out of 81,123 electors so even if every other elector went to a single candidate plus another 10k swung from Conservative's that would still not be enough.

Very descriptive quote from Wikipedia:

Even by the standards of rural Alberta, Battle River—Crowfoot is a strongly conservative riding.

They really wanted to make sure Monsieur Poil was safe.

[-] Revan343@lemmy.ca 8 points 1 week ago

Okay Battle River-Crowfoot, you know what to do

The guy wasn't an MP long enough to be eligible to the pension at 65 either, he'll get what he put in back so that will be a nice cheque to keep him going for a bit (20% deduction for the MP's pension).

Nauseating. Listening to Andrew Failure Scheer on Power & Politics rn and it’s abhorrent as is the entire con party of Poilievre fluffers as professional rim jobbers to fash.

Someone please tell Trump about this.

For context

Is "The New Republic" serious or a joke site? I cannot tell as the headline is too strighforward.

Right-Wing Canadian Candidate Begs Trump to Stop Posting Weird Things

[-] masterofn001@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 week ago

It's a legit site.

[-] ryan213@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 week ago

OK, Battle River - you know what to do! LOL
