It's up to the voters of Battle River/Crowfoot. Do they want to be conned or represented? This business of "parachute" candidates needs to be stopped and they have a perfect opportunity to be the riding that says NO. P.P. is a nasty piece of work, a negative politician and rage farmer; who needs it.
No he will win. Sadly, there are many folks there with bigoted anti-fact anti reality KKK/MAGA views who don’t mind being screwed over by PPs grift - just as long as they can own a lib.

He lost in Carleton because he ignored his (mostly rural) constituents.
You would think that people who work so hard for a living would reject him.
Wayne Horton had thoughts:

I don’t know who Wayne is or what his political background is, but I thought his approach was reasonable and not full of rhetoric and slogans 😺
Just straightforward, down to earth.
Poilievre is only in this for power and whatever benefits him - Bruce Fanjoy won because he put in the effort and is a genuine person - not a grifter.
I saw something go by recently about some sort of white supremacist rally that was held in that area a few years ago?
I ignored it because I couldn’t verify the info.
Perhaps a local independent candidate? Poilievre has no respect for anyone.
Sorry, just grasping at straws now…
