Not only are there other candidates in PP’s riding, there happens to be about 90 of them!

That’s right, there’s about 90 people running for MP in Ottawa-Carleton. And I find that to be rather funny.

The advocacy group Longest Ballot, which tries to get as many candidates as possible on a ballot to call attention to the idea of an independent electoral reform process, told CBC News it is targeting Carleton.

Because of this, there are about 90 candidates on the final ballot.

What gets me about this photo is how fundamentally unserious the whole scene appears. The body language of nearly everyone, the lack of focus, the shabbiness of it all… just embarrassing. I’ve seen high school clubs looking more competent and serious.

I know this is just an aesthetics thing, but it gets to me. 🤷
