You don't have to live in the riding to run in it. In my parents rural Alberta riding the Green candidate in the last election lived in Ontario and TMK didn't even visit it once.
In Jack Layton's 2011 Quebec Orange Crush Wave when the Liberals collapsed under Michael Ignatieff, anglophone Ontario paper candidates got elected for Quebec ridings that didn't even speak French.
Including the infamous Ruth Ellen Brousseau, a waitress from Ottawa who couldn't speak French and vacationed in Vegas instead of campaigning elected to a Francophone Quebec seat.
In I think the previous election these losers called the Rhino Party found some guy named Maxime Bernier and had him run against the real Max in a clear attempt to trick voters.
I wonder how many of those candidates actually exist.
