Il va finir dernier, mais bon! 🚨BREAKING 🚨 Rumor has it, Maxime Bernier will be RUNNING AGAINST Pierre Poilievre in Alberta By Election! This is going to be interesting… pic.twitter.com/IsN0l59mbh — The New Right 🇨🇦 (@TheNewRight_HQ) May 3, 2025 Commentaire inutile à m’envoyer: non, non, il a des chances!
I’m a little conflicted because Maxime is a real piece of shit but Pierre losing twice would be kinda amazing. This is pretty much the only way Pierre has any significant potential of losing the by-election.
Bernier is awful, but a win would likely result in the PPC gaining strength in the next election, which would pull far right voters away from the CPC and weaken them while keeping the far right on the fringes. That sounds good to me. I don’t think it’s at all likely that he’ll run against Poilievre and win, but it would be fine by me.
I suggested Maxime Bernier running to some friends as a joke. Bernier is AWFUL - but it would be hilarious to see Poilevre lose again. Poilevre is trying to avoid that risk by picking an extremely right leaning district - so no risk from the left, but farther right? Rural Albertans have a history of not forgiving screw-ups…
That’s actually something interesting.

As a progressive voter I certainly wouldn’t mind if the right shared the joys of vote splitting.
