Exhibit A of why the federal conservative don’t want Ford campaigning with them. https://www.narcity.com/news/ca/on/doug-fords-a-republican-according-to-his-announcement-in-the-us quote:While on a business trip in Ohio this week, Ford met with Alberta Premier Jason Kenney, and Governor Mike DeWine, to discuss protectionist policies in the United States and Canada. During the conversation, Ford is reported to have said, “God bless the President and don’t get me wrong. Full disclosure: I’m a big Republican.”

There isn't a boot heel up to the task of crushing a creature so low and flat as the Canadian who lauds the America First policies of our fascist southern neighbours. What a pathetic piece of poo poo our blob premier is.

How much does it cost to run a candidate in any particular riding? The half full slate couldn't be because of fundraising shortfalls right? It cant be that bad

Ron Paul Atreides posted:How much does it cost to run a candidate in any particular riding? The half full slate couldn't be because of fundraising shortfalls right? It cant be that bad According to someone earlier in the thread, it's because NDP HQ are taking months and months to vet candidates. There were stories about people putting their names forward as far back as like February and sending them off to NDP HQ and HQ saying "okay we'll vet them and get back to you" and then never hearing back. Which could, in the end, be money-related if it has to do with how many staffers (and how high-quality those staffers are) they have doing the work at NDP HQ.

It cant be that bad It could be due to fundraising shortfall and the fact that NDP staffers are paid more with benefits, that there is full shortage of party employees to process paperwork and set up nomination meetings Also what was posted above me tied into that too

Kind of a death spiral then  but that tracks. If all their fundraising centers only on email donation drives and no on the ground movement building there's just no enthusiasm.gently caress me what a mess of an election

The "there are no NDP candidates" narrative also just isn't... true anymore? The NDP lists 317/338 candidates on their web page right now, and they'll almost certainly get to or near 338. The paperwork for all of them might not be processed with EC yet, which is why not all of them show up on the elections Canada website, but they've got until next Monday to sort that out.

I mean, I know that after the writ was dropped, LPC still used the term nomination meeting. Heck, even the Orleans one, where there was a vote on the candidate was a nomination meeting.

My local NDP candidate is non competitive, and my local Green candidate seems solid and is anecdotally winning the lawn sign game (Mike Morrice, Kitchener Centre). https://www.therecord.com/opinion-s...h-in-kitchener/ Am I an idiot if after five minutes of thinking I'm leaning his way?
