See a lot of post just about the 81.8%(53,502) of votes, but the bigger thing is that it's out of 81,123 electors so even if every other elector went to a single candidate plus another 10k swung from Conservative's that would still not be enough.

Very descriptive quote from Wikipedia:

Even by the standards of rural Alberta, Battle River—Crowfoot is a strongly conservative riding.

They really wanted to make sure Monsieur Poil was safe.

Damn I thought this dude might actually be gone. This feels really unfair. He doesn't give a shit about that area, so much for local representation

[–] Evkob@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 day ago

It's not like he cared about the constituents of Carleton, either.

That's going to be entertaining to see a liberal win that seat well

[–] danielquinn@lemmy.ca 6 points 2 days ago (1 children)

It's an Alberta riding that went 82% Conservative in the last election. It's highly unlikely.

[–] Arkouda@lemmy.ca 6 points 2 days ago

About as unlikely as going from a projected super majority to an 8% chance of forming a Government?

[–] TheFeatureCreature@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 days ago

It's a riding in deep-blue Alberta. Not going to happen.

The guy wasn't an MP long enough to be eligible to the pension at 65 either, he'll get what he put in back so that will be a nice cheque to keep him going for a bit (20% deduction for the MP's pension).

Nauseating. Listening to Andrew Failure Scheer on Power & Politics rn and it’s abhorrent as is the entire con party of Poilievre fluffers as professional rim jobbers to fash.

Clearly you've not heard the new Ben Mulroney am radio show....

I never listen to that tool.

@Quilotoa Hmmm political welfare program

[–] ryan213@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 days ago

OK, Battle River - you know what to do! LOL

[–] Katzelle3@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Someone please tell Trump about this.

For context

Is "The New Republic" serious or a joke site? I cannot tell as the headline is too strighforward.

Right-Wing Canadian Candidate Begs Trump to Stop Posting Weird Things

[–] masterofn001@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 days ago

It's a legit site.

[–] CircaV@lemmy.ca 0 points 1 day ago

Nauseating. Fuck this fascist POS and his followers. A coward and a hypocrite.
