(home of my non-Con sister) <br /><br />Oh and he has lots of loony competition there:<br /><br />"Aside from the Conservative Party, Sloan will also face competitors in Banff-Airdrie that may share similar perspectives. The Maverick Party plans to run Tariq Elnaga in the district, while the People's Party of Canada will run Nadine Wellwood." <br /><br />Of course there is an incumbent looney running also: four-term Conservative MP Blake Richards. (That a whole party of loonies is in contention for government at this late hour, reveals a lot of uncomfortable facts about Canada and our recent failed 'boy-king democracy'.)<br /><br />Also very sad is that the best case scenario in Banff-Aidrie is for the loonies split the vote equitably amongst themselves allowing a greenwashing Lib or Dipper to squeak in.<br /><br />:-(Northern PoVhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04670080478290108536noreply@blogger.com
