Prime Minister Mark Carney called the byelection in June after Conservative MP Damien Kurek stepped down from his seat so Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre could run.

Kurek’s resignation came after he handily won the riding in April. The history of the riding and its previous incarnations indicate it has been one of the safest blue seats in the country.

Last week, Elections Canada released data from advance polls which revealed 14,454 people have already cast their ballots in the riding, more than the amount who showed up at advance polls in that riding for April’s federal election.

    The fact we are going to have to listen to everyone and their drunk uncle spew his blitherblabber all over every social media platform, starting tomorrow, makes me want to vomit

    The literal best thing this man can do in the morning, is continue to shut the fuck up for another week or two, and let us just come to terms that our everyday is going to be filled with his annoying ass whiny voice again.

      I enjoyed the last couple months of not hearing anything from him.

      I’m with you, he never actually puts forward any ideas, he just whines incessantly.
