18 Aug 2025: Poilievre/By-election in Battle River–Crowfoot (AB)

[The Bread Guy]

Heads up: if you want to discuss JUST the pro's & con's of allowing loads of "independents" to run for elections as a protest to FPTP, new thread started here to allow this one to stick to just PP & his byelection stuff. Enjoy!

I'm thinking these charades need to stop anyhow. Its all yelling and screaming and interrupting each other.

Its not "debating" - its childish hogwash.

I find the local debates generally a lot more professional and all the candidates trying to be polite and "part of the community"

They're all just parrotting central party talking points; no original thought allowed.
