The PPC got 1% of the vote in his riding two years ago. The incumbent Liberal, Marc Garneau, is a celebrity astronaut and cabinet minister who got 56% of the vote last time.
The riding's boundaries have been drawn and redrawn many times, but they've only elected one representative who wasn't Liberal since 1962 (a NDP member during Jack Layton's Orange wave when Liberal support collapsed under Michael Ignatieff).
Speaking of Michael Ignatieff, who I really liked as a potential leader and thought he got unfairly railroaded, it is incredible to go back in time to think that his whole campaign was about "Equality of Opportunity" as a true classical liberal, that his political campaign of ten years ago would have him labeled as a Jordan Peterson-esque Pepe Nazi in 2021.
I like Viva too, but he has no chance.
