They picked that riding for a reason. The Cons got 81.8% of the vote in the recent election in that riding.

I wish we had the requirement that you must LIVE in the riding you're running for and have lived there the past 2 years at least. Should also have to live there the entire time in office as well.

Hilarious that a bunch of Albertans that hate Ottawa politicians are about to vote in an Ottawa politician.

Perfectly on brand, tbh.

They love freedom, but not for trans or gays.

They love their country, but they hate paying the taxes to support it.

They love democracy, but they hate when anybody else wins.

They hate tyranny, but they love to back traitors.

Because they're not consistent. It's not about anyone being an Ottawa politician, it's just their tribalist victim complex.

I'd love to see Albertans reject him as an "Ottawa elite parachute candidate".

They won't, of course, but a guy can dream...

Maybe shame the libertarians in that riding into presenting an independent candidate that would defeat Peter Rabbithair easily.
