      Battle River-Crowfoot was only the second safest Conservative riding in the country so PP really went out on a limb there. I hope the folks in Souris-Moose Mountain are ready for some shenanigans.

      Funny thing is, there’s no election scheduled for years, and it’s truly unlikely one’s coming soon.

      So this is just the Conservative Party telling us it was really important to them to tell us as early as possible that they absolutely do not give the faintest shred of a rat’s ass about the voters.

      Want to know how much of a loser PP is? One of the safest conservative ridings and Damien Kurek got 83% of the votes in 2025. Skippy got 80%. Not only did PP lose a 25 point lead in the polls and his own seat, he couldn’t even get as many votes as the conservative he took the seat from. To quote Jim Cary from Ace Ventura… LA-HOO-SER.

      This isn’t unexpected, as both Kurek and Poilievre said this would be the case when he ran out there. I still think they should say which riding he plans to run in next election, as it would be a good idea to build up rapport there. Bonnie Crombie’s big mistake was leaving this until the last minute, and thus having absolutely no relation with her riding.

      >Party leaders have previously relied on safe seats to return to Parliament, often with the understanding that the arrangement is temporary.

      This isn’t really true though. Generally party leaders are in safe seats to begin with, and if they lose, they get parachuted to a new safe seat. At least that was the case with WLMK, he was MP for Prince Albert for 20 years after losing his seat in Ontario(though he lost PA eventually too).

      Ironically, the most common seat for a Conservative leader to be parachuted to is Carleton. Poilievre is the 4th Conservative leader to have represented the area.
