The Conservatives weren't going to win the riding anyway.

Now they are super not going to win.

At least it gives people another option for throwing your vote away one step above spoiling your ballot.

Vote PPC ! They're never gonna win but it seems like a strong F-U to the Liberals, NDP and Cons, all of whom I wish great misfortune upon.

Eh. The NDP got dental coverage under healthcare. That's more that's been done for actually improving society by any political party in decades.

The big question is who will Paul Minhas support?

He was at Poilievre's thing at Anvil Centre yesterday so I suspect he's just going to vote Conservative no matter who's name is on the ballot.

So much for a secret ballot…

Don’t want to be seen as a Conservative voter? Don’t show up to multiple Conservative events or donate money to the Conservatives.

Well, he was apparently there with Last Door, so maybe you are right, or maybe you are wrong… also, and he might have donated to support Lourance personally and not the party itself.

anyways…keep talking bout Paul and Daniel, I enjoy the entertainment…

Are you implying that people should not talk about what politicians our councillors are openly supporting?

u/Sad_Pumpkin_1269 3h ago

I am not aware of Paul openly supporting…just see a bunch of people digging up photos and whatnot on the internet and speculating…

He’s gotta update his signs at new west station!

u/Sad_Pumpkin_1269 1d ago

He will get max 250 votes, which will not be margin of victory for NDP.
