    Wouldn’t it be amazing if Maxime Bernier (PPC) Blake Desjarlais (NDP) and the Longest Ballot all also ran against PeePee… he’ll win that craven pathetic no-brain AB riding and weasel his way back into Parliament where each time he opens his pie hole Carney will remind him, he’s only there cause Carney let him be there. PeePee is a weak and pathetic leader, easy for Carney to humiliate.

      I’m still angry that the libs even ran a candidate in Griesbach. They had no chance, why steal votes from the NDP for absolutely nothing?

      Edit: but I’m super into your idea. Flight them with fun and malicious compliance.

        Does Canada have electoral alliances? Like, we won’t pull our candidate but we’ll do a switcheroo. Haven’t heard of it for a single seat but for elections we usually have them. Party A and Party B join forces so that the votes that weren’t enough to get a seat are used by the partner that got more votes in that district.

        Edit: it’s called Apparentment and you don’t have it

        They only run in select ridings, when they do run candidates - it’s a lot of them but all in one riding.
