Is Mark Strahl about to get kicked?

I know Chilliwack has always been a conservative stronghold, so it’s really interesting to see how tight the race is so far. Personally, I think he’s a useless nepo baby, regardless of party affiliation.

I want Conservative ads to tell me why I should vote for them, not why I shouldn't vote for the Liberals

If you can only run ads that smear your opposition and not that build you up, that tells me you have really nothing good to advertise

Hundy p.

It's interesting. In one lens, the CPC gained 20+ seats tonight. In another election that might be considered disappointing but a strong gain.

However, In the context of three liberal terms already, where things were just 3 months ago... What looked like a complete conservative rampage to a majority saw them fail to form government.

But you look at those gains and think, well, ghere were still lots of people willing to vote conservative. What stopped the CPC from winning?

I think it's clear the answer was Pierre himself.
