The crazy part is he’s held the area since 2004.
I thought the other parties didn’t run candidates in pm ridings out of mutual respect
a) they absolutely do. b) why would you think that they did not?
The least grounded part has got to be, “mutual respect.”
The wacko will produce comedy material that will last years.
Carleton deserves better! The voting’s never over until the last poll is closed. Never let online polling make you think your vote doesn’t matter. It always matters. Predictions can be wrong. It might come down to literally the last vote. You never know. And if you don’t vote, you never will know what could’ve been. Millions of people didn’t vote in previous elections, enough people to literally change almost every riding. Don’t be one of those millions, THAT’S actually throwing your vote away. VOTE! Always make sure your choice gets counted, even if it doesn’t win.
Good message.
In Alberta, we had one riding in the last election 8 votes apart. ~180 different votes in a handful of ridings would have changed the Premier.
Even if you’re in a deeply red or blue riding, protesting your incumbent in safe areas is powerful messaging; if they can rest in the right colored jersey, that’s all they’ll do. When a 1:5 riding suddenly goes 2:3 or 1:2, they start at least trying to demonstrate what they’re doing for you (sometimes theatrics, but it’s a start).
All that said, it’s still your vote - given the difference in how voters turn out, and abdication of your vote is generally a blue vote anyways, and that’s a choice too.
Dear Santa…
Go Bruce Fanjoy!
Good
