    This is just bad running against worse. Everyone loses, no matter which one wins.

      Third option, very unlikely but 91 people register in the by election and 4 of them are named Pierre one with a French last name starting with P.

      The ballot is alphabetical and he is bunched in between the other PPs, the real PP stands up but no one in Alberta knows French much or how to read because education is underfunded so they elect the independent Pierre Pondulac

      I remember coworkers telling me in 2015 that they hoped Trump would win the RNC nomination because he’d be easier to beat

      CPC is pretty awful but PPC is much worse. We do not want these people in parliament.

        It’s not at all the same.

        This would give the PPC one seat total, and deprive the CPC of their current leader.

        Your analogy is actually much more similar to PP WINNING the seat. The Liberals being so happy to call a special election is BECAUSE they LIKE keeping PP, the guy they just beat the leader of the CPC. If the libs drag their feet to give challengers the space to make a play for CPC leadership, they’re rolling the dice. They’re choosing the devil they know and beat. Their bet is they think PP is a guy they can beat again.
