You know what, Justin Trudeau should also run, for shits and giggles.

Less far fetched but equally hilarious would be to get Singh and Pedneault in there.
They could make their campaigns all about being 'the best loser', 'we deserve a second chance', or something like that.
A trail of losers. I love it.
And Singh!
I suppose it would make a pretty good musical if everyone got involved.
I've seen the memes already
As the candidate for the liberals or the Rhinosourus party?
I was really hoping that JT would run as an MP and stay in government, but I get that he was toxic and probably his disappearing act helped simplify the LPC's path to victory considerably.
That's actually something interesting.
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.
As a progressive voter I certainly wouldn't mind if the right shared the joys of vote splitting.
The CPC and the LPC split the right every election.
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...
I have to kind of laugh at the idea of a bunch of right-wing Albertans having to choose between Poilievre and Bernier. Would love to see a split vote make them both lose.
That would be fantastic. An even more right wing POS to split the vote in an already ultra right wing riding.
the only reason the PPC exists, is because Bernier was sour that he lost the Conservative leadership contest to Andrew Scheer.
Now that the overton window of the conservative party has shifted so far right, the PPC is effectively a pointless party, outside of Bernier wanting to be in charge, there is no reason for the PPC to exist, they will probably merge back into the CPC.
Can't wait to see the infighting when that happens....and the multitude of splinter parties
So we're not starting a campaign to have everyone write in the incumbent's name anyway?
I think "nah, we'll take the guy we already voted for" would be a fierce double-skunk for Mr Polyester.
I never in a million years thought I would consider campaigning for Maxime Bernier...
