Pierre Poilievre

[Ron in Regina]

Mr. Harper appeared at Mr. Poilievre’s rally in Edmonton on Monday night to introduce the Conservative Leader to a crowd of thousands who packed into at a warehouse south of the city. The rally, which is the 11th of the campaign, was the largest one so far, with organizers saying upwards of 10,000 people registered for the event.
Former prime minister Stephen Harper said Canada’s problems weren’t created by the Trump administration as he made an impassioned pitch for Pierre Poilievre to become Canada’s next prime minister and downplayed Liberal Leader Mark Carney’s role during the 2008 global financial crisis.

He said the problems Canada is currently facing are not merely the fault of U.S. President Donald Trump, who has imposed tariffs on countries around the world, rattling global markets.

“It’s no secret that our country faces today another historically challenging time in the form of the Trump administration. There is no sugar coating that,” Mr. Harper said.

“But the bulk of the problems that afflict our country – falling living standards, declining employment and housing opportunities, rising crime, the growing divisions between our regions and our people – these were not created by Donald Trump. “They were created by the policies of three Liberal terms, policies that the present prime minister supported.”

Sure doesn't match the official polls, or what we see in non government media coverage of the tours.

I’ve actually just got off the phone with somebody who watched that rally in Alberta yesterday. Apparently they were 10,000 people registered to be there but they were 15,000 people there to see Harper & Poilievre. That’s crazy.

Go to a rally in Edmonton last night is what he did most recently as far as I know. Apparently there was something like fifteen thousand people there.

Well for Skippy-P to get air time, he has to a) let reporters get near him, especially those he doesn't like and b) stop his people from bullying said reporters. Also c) let reporters ask questions, not pre-scripted comments that make him look nicey-nice.

That is the prerec for getting favourable reporting. CBC doesn't believe in honesty if it runs contrary to woke agenda.

This is interesting in a “Let’s protest the guy & party that hasn’t been in power the last decade….because electoral reform that the Liberals promised & didn’t deliver upon three consecutive elections?”

Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre will be facing more opponents than ever in his eighth federal campaign, thanks to dozens of protest candidates running in his riding.

Nearly 80 candidates registered to run in the Ottawa-area riding of Carleton, where Poilievre has been the MP since 2004.

Most of those candidates are linked to an electoral reform advocacy group called the Longest Ballot Committee. The group wants to put a citizens' assembly in charge of electoral reform and says political parties are too reluctant to make government more representative of the electorate.

Tomas Szuchewycz, an organizer with the committee who acts as the protest candidates' official agent said the group had also intended to sign up dozens of candidates in Liberal Leader Mark Carney's neighbouring Nepean riding. But he said the group didn't have enough time to organize because Carney only announced where he'd be seeking a seat the weekend he triggered an election.

Nepean & Carleton are literally side by side in the same city (?) so what…the bus schedules didn’t link up or something? Does the above sound even plausible here? This seems more than a little stinky.

There is a group called Fair Vote Canada, pushing for a version of ProRep. They want to be able to list your choices, so if your first choice doesn't win, your vote then goes to the next person on your list. They also want super ridings, which is a group of existing ridings to be able to assign seats to parties based on their total share of the vote. I haven't figured out how this is supposed to help independents,or exactly how votes are counted, but somehow this is supposed to make everyone inclusive?
BC has voted 2 or 3 times against a ProRep version called STV(single transferable vote) that also gives seats to parties, and somehow your representative would not necessarily live in your riding, or even close to it.
Somehow, it seems like none of these groups understand the basics of our electoral system, where we vote for the person, not the party, or party leader. To a large extent, the parties themselves don't seem to understand this fact either, based on their advertising.

It's a participation trophy to help cover campaign costs. It's not about representation It's about what Elections Canada coughs up per vote.
