Now that was funny. It may take them like 3 months to make it happen even if Carney calls it at the earliest chance.
We're still wasting hundreds of thousands or even millions on this useless election (that riding is the biggest geographically in the country), but at least the whole situation got a chuckle out of me.
that riding is the biggest geographically in the country
I'm pretty sure Nunavut is the biggest riding geographically. I don't think Battle River—Crowfoot is even in the top 10. It's not even the biggest riding in Alberta.
It's the 5th largest of Alberta's 37 ridings. I doubt it's even in the top 20 nationwide, but I can't be bothered to go compare areas that long.
Yeah I misspoke there other than the territories but I may also be wrong. The point stands, it's a large riding and will cost tons of money.
The amount of money we've wasted on this sack of shit is too damn high. Buddy needs to take his own advice - pull up his bootstraps and get a real job instead of relying on government handouts.
b...b..but you dont get it. Its his turn! its the Conservative's turn! the Libruls have ruined this country for 10 years! its time for someone else!
Surely this is an pointless exercise? A leader who lost their own seat beibg parachuted into another seat will just be attacked constantly. "Couldn't even win their own seat" will be the constant riposte, and his own authority in his own party will be severely undermined.
And if its anything like UK politics, voters dont like being taken for granted and asked to vote for candidates who don't even live in the constituency. I doubt even his own party's voters will be delighted as this.
Edit: Also this made me laugh:
"An unstoppable movement has grown under [Poilievre's] leadership, and I know we need Pierre fighting in the House of Commons to hold the Liberal minority government to account," he said.
Seemed pretty stoppable to me.
The Conservatives are acting a tiny bit more rationally, now that we got Poilievre to shut up for a bit.
Good time for PP's opponents right left and centre to campaign against him. A by-election might be easier to defy expectations.
