Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre is one of 91 candidates registered in the suburban Ottawa riding of Carleton. It’s tied for the record of having the most candidates on the ballot with the 2024 byelection in the Montreal riding of LaSalle—Émard—Verdun. Most candidates are connected to an electoral reform advocacy group called the Longest Ballot Committee. Mark Moutter, an independent candidate in the riding who is part of that initiative, joins Power & Politics to discuss why he’s put his name on this large ballot.
Our system can accommodate the protest with no difficulty. It may take poll workers and scrutineers a little longer to tally to vote in these polls, but that has no overall effect.
You’re right that some people may have a harder time with the ballot. That sucks.
Sure but in the other hand a bunch of fucking assholes get a laugh about their funny prank. “That sucks” that it affects real human beings and makes it more difficult for them to exercise their democratic rights
I do not underhanded how people here are so jaded that somehow I’m the bad guy. Absolutely disgusted with this crowd
