1. Hmm. Good list to cross check for gLiberal funded “candidates”. Spel-chucker don’t laik dees wurds.

2. is that what’s on the ballot?
   is ANYBODY going to go to the polling station and keep the ballot for posterity?
   and the entire LIIIIIIIEEEEEberal caucus are good with this tactic?
   are we in north korea or sumptin?

3. I still don’t recognize the name. Is that a Canadian politician of some sort? Never heard of him. Has he done anything remarkable?

   1. Yes. He gave a Ukrainian Nazi a standing ovation in Parliament.

      1. And not because the man was a legitimate Ukrainian hero, greeting the visiting Ukrainian president, as well as a venerable and valuable citizen of this country, oh no! Solely because he was a Nazi! (i.e., had as a young man on another continent in another century served under Nazi command, so we’re talking serious died in the wool here.) Despicable, isnt it?

4. Ho-lee Batman! Can’t the Libs fudge this up more?
   It’s so bad it’s comical.
   110,000 eligible voters
   Maybe 25% show up during summer?
   It may take longer than usual to hand count handwritten ballots?
   Just check the spoilt pile for anything with a PP, Pi-air, etc during the judicial recount before Christmas.

5. I actually think that Elections Canada realized that their credibility was in danger and acted accordingly. While Pierre’s last name should have been Smith, I still think this approach is preferable.

   – As a result of the high number of candidates in Battle River–Crowfoot (Alberta), electors voting at advance or election day polls will vote using an adapted ballot.

   – The adapted ballot will feature a blank space where electors can write the name of their preferred candidate. This will replace the typical list-style ballot, on which electors mark a blank circle next to the name of the candidate of their choice.

   1. If he loses because of this conservatives will get very angry and then do nothing about it.

6. The Liberal Party will challenge every single ballot. We won’t see a final result before Christmas.

   The peak ridiculousness will be when they start claiming that a “long” dot over the first “i” was actually intended to be an accent mark over the adjacent “e.” And Elections Canada will accept it and call it a spoiled ballot, since there is no candidate with that name.

   1. This mess likely came up because the Lieberals and Dippers realised it was they, themselves, who were going to lose votes.

7. It took me months to start spelling Pierre P’s name correctly.
   Elections Canada should take it on the chin for this fiasco.

8. Those are all so awfully traditional. Someone needs to remind Grok about the imaginary new alpha characters that the Vancouver city council has decreed that a perfectly illiterate Stone Age culture grunted out now count as official methods of communication. The possibilities are vast!

9. The next challenge for Grok is going to be pronouncing Patrick Roy’s name correctly.

10. This is not an accident or a misinterpretation of the rules. But gaming the system to cast doubt on an election and make a candidate look like a fool. That is the reason this is done.

11. This is all about pushing us to automated counting of ballots, which fully opens the doors to hacking and digital manipulation.

    As long as there are no boxes of advanced poll ballots stored insecurely (like we unfortunately now have) the paper and pencil system monitored by party scrutineers is bulletproof.

    1. At one local election years ago, the ballot takers proudly stated that the ballots were entered into the counter, counted, and immediately shredded, for YOUR privacy.

       Blank looks when questioned about manual count verification of the paper ballots for correctness/honesty.

12. Poilievre (if spelled correctly…) should drop out at the last minute possible, and let the votes land where they may.
