not given a mulligan.

Wait? Like the Canadian people gave the LPC a mulligan?

He should have been out when he failed to keep his own seat

And we gave him a strong showing of support last January, so dead argument. If the CPC membership did not want him, they would have said so at that time.
That being said, if it comes up again (the CPC is the only party that has that right) and we decide to toss him out, then he is done.

I’m not sure how wise popular selection of party candidates is, for reasons like this…

I am all for selecting our candidates in the parties (I supported out MP Alex Ruff when he was running to replace Larry Miller as the CPC candidate in our riding, their was like 6 choices on the ballet if I remember correctly).
That being said, I would like to know why the CPC didn't screen this candidate that they had to boot out.

What? You really want to hurt the CPC right now, don't you? He is a poison pill. His hypocritical behaviour during the lockdowns has ruined his reputation.


Word around the campfire (rumours) is that Pierre will step down if CPC loses.

On that note, I found out more about the candidate the locals originally picked as a CPC candidate (and was replaced by the party). He is apparently very openly homophobic, transphobic and would pursue issue conservatives left alone LONG time ago (like abortion).

Kenney's transgressions were last week. No one will remember.

If Kenney gets in as CPC leader (he won't, way too much baggage), forget Alberta being a CPC stronghold. They will turn against him.
