  • There is another potential problem for Poilievre. Critchley is right. Parachute candidates always face a potential backlash when they drop into ridings because they have lost their own seats. That’s because there is something fundamentally opportunistic and unfair about replacing a successful local candidate with an unsuccessful national one. Does Poilievre care about the riding or, as Critchley believes, is he just using it as the safest way to become an MP before Parliament is recalled?

    This is a great point I’m surprised hasn’t been talked about more. Pierre is running on a party-over-country campaign.
