One of the strategies for winning such a contest is attrition.
This "urgent voter information" is expensive to place in the newspaper. And maneuvering a political campaign opponent into outspending you 2 or 3 to one is an enormous advantage.

For those who missed it, he won. Expected because the party parachuted him into the safest riding in the entire country.

NEW!
CALL and WRITE to your MLA, city, local government and let them know you’ll be at one of the protests or concert in a purple wig or rainbow flag, peacefully. Tell them all about him and that it causes you great upset!

Fear, Anger, and Division — Pierre Poilievre’s Latest Rhetoric Under the Microscope
Over the last few weeks, Pierre Poilievre has flooded social media with a stream of dramatic claims: accusing the government of building “only bureaucracy,” declaring that EV mandates “ban the rural way of life,” warning that “crime and extortion are out of control,” and labelling Canadian legislation “authoritarian censorship.” Let’s separate fact from fiction.
1. Bureaucracy vs. Nation-Building
Poilievre mocked the government for creating a Major Projects Office, calling it “just another bureaucracy.” In reality, the office is designed to streamline approvals for highways, ports, and energy corridors — exactly the kinds of projects he claims to want. Branding coordination as “bureaucracy” is a rhetorical trick: it discredits useful tools by attaching a negative label. Security studies warn that personalized attacks and discrediting of institutions are a recurring tactic to undermine trust in democracy.
2. EV Mandate = Ban on Rural Life?
Poilievre calls Canada’s 2035 Zero-Emission Vehicle sales standard a “ban on rural life.” That’s false. The policy applies to new vehicle sales over the next decade; it does not ban ownership or used vehicle sales, nor does it confiscate trucks or tractors. It is a supply-side rule aimed at ....

And PP spews more crap on a subject he knows nothing about
Poilievre & Gender Rights
By Steve Ward
As usual, Mr. Poilievre is commenting on a subject with which he appears to be unfamiliar in terms of actual facts. The nurse in question made transphobic comments by insisting there are only two genders. Earlier this year, Mr. Poilievre betrayed his own transphobic perspective when he agreed with Trump's executive order requiring the United States government to only recognize two genders. In his post, he also referenced J.K. Rowling, author of the highly successful Harry Potter series of fantasy books. It has become readily apparent in recent years that Rowling also possesses ignorant and transphobic views and she has taken some career hits for her ignorance.
The larger question is who is this nurse to determine whether people's gender expression and gender identity are to be respected? Well, the Canadian Human Rights Act and the Criminal Code of Canada have the final say because gender identity and gender expression are listed as prohibited grounds for discrimination. The rights of transgender and non-binary individuals are enshrined in Canadian law, and that is why this transphobic nurse can and is being held accountable for her hate and ignorance by the BC Nurse's Association. It is also ironic that Mr. Poilievre sees himself as a 'tough on crime' crusader yet he also .....
