I was against snap elections before I was for them

"Fixed dates stop leaders from trying to manipulate the calendar. They level the playing field for all parties... Hopefully, in the next election, we can run on our record and we won't need the manipulation of the electoral calendar." - Stephen Harper, May 26, 2006

Bells Corners is full of Harper supporters so I'd be surprised if the shrill Pierre Pipsqueak Peppershaker doesn't get back in. Unfortunately.

Second place will go to either the Greens or the NDP (whoever runs the best campaign) and the Liberals will bring up the rear.

Yes, Poilievre won by over 19,000 votes last election. It's hard to see it turning out differently this time. Do the Liberals even have a candidate nominated in Nepean-Carleton yet?
