Jokes aside, that's actually kind of comical, if you get what I'm referencing.

Not surprising he chose an Ottawa riding, which just happens to be Ayra's ex-riding. I did believe he would've taken a gamble on Edmonton-Centre given 338 is giving it a "Liberal-Likely" projection.

The Liberals are so good at getting elected....that commercial is amazing....Carney's entire week has been a masterclass....their strategy brilliant.

These Conservatives are so bad...go through any of their social media and it is just wall to wall negativity and rage....most of their advertising is poorly crafted attack ads and the ones that aren't are Pierre doing a speech like he is rallying the troops to go to war.

Canadians are looking for a trusted steady hand in a time of crisis....how do they not get that by now...they are so thick headed.

I just assume Canadian entertainers live in the US if they are known internationally like Myers, I'm surprised if they live in Canada. Often people of means may have property here but have multiple residences anyway. In today's political climate that may well change. In the case of stars like Myers, they would also feel affected and compromised by the divisive politics, being actually citizens of both countries. If it continues, you may see some of them move back again.

it is amazing that their ridings touch each other....it's too bad he isn't running in Edmonton....its weird they just punted their candidate.

It would be even better if they ran in the same riding!

Conservatives look to be focused on Carney. They are very negative.

I think this kind of warm positive plan will win the day.....

Myers should do one of Trump as Fat Bastard threatening Canadians to get in his belly with ‘mini-me’ PP.

Well it looks like I have egg on my face. Of all 3 locals {Tor/Ott/Edm} I thought it would be Toronto first and then Edmonton but only in a very secure Liberal riding. Ottawa I wrote off as being too offensive to most Canadians as Ottawa itself is as it is viewed as just a fat cat city living off Ottawa's largess. Well, at least we won't be having yet another PM from Quebec and whoever wins will be the first PM from Ontario since Pearson.

I must say they sure threw the current Liberal MP for Nepean, Chambert Arya, right under the bus. They basically just told him, after a decade of being the local MP, where to go and how to get there with absolutely no explanation of why he can't run again. He could put up a real public fuss over this but I imagine the Party has already told him that if he stays quiet and plays ball there is a nice juicy Senate seat with his name on it.

Is it not customary for MPs to run in the ridings where they live. I though he moved back to the Ottawa a few years ago.

If there was a bus involved, surely Arya was the one to step in front of it. Given the circumstances, I highly doubt there's a future for him in mainstream politics.

The Canadian people have seen this, and made their decision. Liberal majority. Poilievre can go back to the rock he crawled from. Hate-filled rage may work in America, but not here. It's better to build bridges, than to burn them.

As much as I'd prefer not to see Mr Poilievre as PM, let's not jump the gun. The election has not even been called yet and there's a long way to go. (Thankfully, not as excruciatingly long as our southern neighbours go through.))

I really thought that he would have run in Edmonton. But I guess he wanted to run where he is living. He may have thought that running in Alberta would make him subject to complaints that he isn't living there now and hasn't for quite awhile. He's definitely taking less of a risk in Nepean. Interesting that both PP and Carney grew up in Alberta and are candidates for Ottawa ridings.

I'm glad that Ayra guy is gone as he made some strange comments.

There is no residency requirement. My MP Charlie Angus has never lived in my riding the whole time he has been MP. He lives in Cobalt which is just outside the riding and in Nipissing-Timiskaming electoral district. If you know Charlie you can totally understand why he chooses to live in Cobalt. But his place of residence was brought up in every single election campaign by opponents but he won every time.

Danielle Smith "endorsing" Poilievre recently. I swear, if these people were not out of touch with reality, one would think they were helping Carney win the election.

How Canadians can consider to vote for the Liberal party again, given their proven record of failure of the past decade, is inconceivalbe to me. Also Carney is weak on combatting anti-semitism and that is a disgrace!

Yes. No one in Quebec who isn’t already a die-hard Liberal voter in western Montreal or the Outaouais who would vote for a red lawn chair actually cares about those things.

Carney is the anti-Trump. PP is mini-me Trump. ‘Nuff said.........

This entire election is about Trumpian fascism and Canada’s right to exist as it’s own country.

Chandra Arya was embarrassing and cringe-worthy for the Liberals so that makes him as expendable as you can get in a political party.
