I would find it amusing if the “Independent party” ended up taking Carleton (ie: more voters voted independent than PP).

[edit] Woohoo! Looks like Carleton is likely going to (LPC) Bruce Fanjoy despite the plethora of independents. PP loses his seat!

He’ll probably just replace a CPC somewhere else, but I’d love to see this as a signal that conservative Canadians don’t want populism or fascism.

That reminds me - what the heck is up with the candidates in Carlton? Who are all these independents?

There was an organized protest campaign run where a whole bunch of people ran in PP’s riding to bring visibility to the mishandling of electoral reform in Canada, specifically around ranked choice voting and proportional representation. Liberals ran on it in 2010 and then failed to do anything other than make a mess of moving away from first past the post .
