Prime Minister Mark Carney called the byelection in June after Conservative MP Damien Kurek stepped down from his seat so Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre could run.

Kurek's resignation came after he handily won the riding in April. The history of the riding and its previous incarnations indicate it has been one of the safest blue seats in the country.

Last week, Elections Canada released data from advance polls which revealed 14,454 people have already cast their ballots in the riding, more than the amount who showed up at advance polls in that riding for April's federal election.

It's the conservative carpet bagger way. It's all they do, parachute around, when they can't get their way. Like little petulant children.

Even more embarrassing, is all the dumb idiots that continue to lap it up. Those Rural Albertans in this riding (and all the other rural ones, who are we kidding) supposedly don't want to be seen as dumb hillbilly inbred cousin humping smallpox infected cowboys. But then they turn around and just go to the polls like robots every time, and prove to us they are indeed hillbilly inbred cousin humping measles infected boot lickers that have an absolute inability to look out for their own interests.
