It’s exceptionally blue even for Alberta but who knows? I hope the liberal candidate calls Fanjoy for tips and starts TODAY. It’s not impossible.

You can sell it as their chance to be represented in the government. Beyond the practical benefits, people like to be on the winning team.

It's never going to make up the difference here, but it would be funny just to see him to worse than the other guy.

We‘ll definitely keep an eye on this. You never know and yea even a couple of points down will be nice to see. People who think he’ll represent their local concerns are delusional. He probably didn’t even know where the riding is.

Can’t start today. Not until the byelection is called. Carney doesn’t have to call one for 6 months. And why should he? The voters there don’t want another election so soon. They just voted someone who abandoned their post!

Well he can talk to Fanjoy today. Carney said he’ll call it immediately if they want that. I think that’s a solid move. I like that he is a no bs guy and doesn’t play games. I don’t want a bye election. I think that’s garbage but if that’s the rules …

I would even take a further-right fuckhead, be they PPC or Independent, I just want to see Poilievre lose his seat a second time

Sure. Works for me as well.
