Il va finir dernier, mais bon! 🚨BREAKING 🚨 Rumor has it, Maxime Bernier will be RUNNING AGAINST Pierre Poilievre in Alberta By Election! This is going to be interesting… pic.twitter.com/IsN0l59mbh — The New Right 🇨🇦 (@TheNewRight_HQ) May 3, 2025 Commentaire inutile à m’envoyer: non, non, il a des chances!
Third option, very unlikely but 91 people register in the by election and 4 of them are named Pierre one with a French last name starting with P.
The ballot is alphabetical and he is bunched in between the other PPs, the real PP stands up but no one in Alberta knows French much or how to read because education is underfunded so they elect the independent Pierre Pondulac
This would give the PPC one seat total, and deprive the CPC of their current leader.
Your analogy is actually much more similar to PP WINNING the seat. The Liberals being so happy to call a special election is BECAUSE they LIKE keeping PP, the guy they just beat the leader of the CPC. If the libs drag their feet to give challengers the space to make a play for CPC leadership, they’re rolling the dice. They’re choosing the devil they know and beat. Their bet is they think PP is a guy they can beat again.
But since the conservative won with 82% of the vote, even it were a perfect split either would still handily trounce whoever the 18% rallied behind.
Like, this is why PP wants this riding. I’m pretty sure a literal mop bucket would still win the seat if they were the conservative candidate. I think he could drive into Hanna say “fuck Lanny fuck Nickelback and fuck you” and still easily win.
This is just bad running against worse. Everyone loses, no matter which one wins.
Well, ideally they split the vote and the Liberal candidate wins

They list party affiliation on the ballot under the names.
Don’t you mean Pierre Pondulac of the Conservation Party?
Wait, I thought we were voting for Pierre Pontiac from the Conversation Party.
I remember coworkers telling me in 2015 that they hoped Trump would win the RNC nomination because he’d be easier to beat
CPC is pretty awful but PPC is much worse. We do not want these people in parliament.
It’s not at all the same.

Unless the split the vote so effectively that the Liberal or NDP candidate won…
That would be amazing.

I’m hoping the Alberta’s aren’t impressed about an Ontario politician parachuting in and “using” them.
