On private property, sure, anyone can. On public property, it varies from municipality to municipality.

There are two Sask Party MLAs who became CPC candidates in the spring. They’ve kept their jobs as MLAs but have been canvassing as CPC MPs. They say they will step down once the election is called, but the Sask Party hasn’t said anything about by-elections. https://thestarphoenix.com/news/sas...5b-552477d4c6a6 Is an active MLA running as federal candidate at the same time a common thing? It all seems super sketchy, but they are conservatives so... The sad trumpet at the end is just so perfect. Too funny Yellow Ant fucked around with this message at 05:10 on Aug 27, 2019 |

Lets see - the Cons are holding steady or bleeding support to the PPC, PPC aren't bleeding support anywhere but who cares, Libs are bleeding support to the NDP and Greens, NDP are bleeding support to the Greens, Greens are bleeding support to the gently caress It, I'm Going To Stay Home, Smoke Weed, and Masturbate Party. I think the next U.S. election is easier to call than this one.

Anywhere the CPC is making gains right now is in riding they already control. So Alberta is going to be like 80% CPC with no actual seats gained.

and Linda Duncan will continue getting elected because that's the U of A riding. I wonder if Lethbridge could be swung since lots of people there are super pissed about the UCP cancelling the planned construction of a new arts centre there

Charles Bukowski posted:How does one enter Canadian politica if they know what change they want but don't have a clue how to get it done? Something we have been trying to figure out in this thread for 10 years.  Serious answer: start locally. I know its cliche but its honestly pretty accurate for a lot of places in this country due to our spread out population and changing age demographics (I think this is going to be the first election we will have where gen-x/millenials will outnumber boomers). The NDP isnt a lost cause yet, I think with Singh failing to make any gains is a good chance to reform the party again to better reflect its original goals. As always the problem is time. Or lack of it. The planet is dying faster than our worst models and a conservative government will see Bolsonaro levels of gently caress you to environmental protections while the Liberals seem pretty content to continue on their current path of kicking the can down the road.

We will probably have a more Trumpian-like figure emerge in the next few years though.

Pinterest Mom posted:That's not even true of every government that's won a majority this decade. The key piece that got left out of that claim was that no party that entered government with a (working) majority didn't win at least a minority on the second go-around. The only exceptions are Alexander Mackenzie in 1873 and R.B. Bennett in 1935.

I can't be convinced that suburban Liberal voters last time around were thinking too much about electoral reform or worry themselves too much about pipelines (outside of BC). I'm not condoning this type of reasoning, I'm just arguing that I think it exists.
