What you need to know about the federal byelection in Battle River-Crowfoot | CBC News
Prime Minister Mark Carney called the byelection in June after Conservative MP Damien Kurek stepped down from his seat so Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre could run.
Kurek's resignation came after he handily won the riding in April. The history of the riding and its previous incarnations indicate it has been one of the safest blue seats in the country.
Last week, Elections Canada released data from advance polls which revealed 14,454 people have already cast their ballots in the riding, more than the amount who showed up at advance polls in that riding for April's federal election.
This shouldn’t be allowed.
If you lose your seat by treating your constituents like shit then you should have to sit on your ass until next election.
Maybe Polievre shouldn’t have hobnobbed and celebrated the convoy if he did t want Ottawa to hate him.
Maybe he should have campaigned locally instead of only on right wing “news”.
Allowing this only supports a government if fly-in MPs who have no connection to Canadians and zero incentive to serve their community, which is the entire point of MLAs elected by riding.
I 100% agree with you.
Yep. This is, IMO, literally cheating, don't care which party is/has done it.
Super unethical.
