My riding hasn't even elected a conservative or PC at any level for 40 years. In some ways they've even stopped trying to campaign (they don't always show up to debates, for example.) I cut the PPC some slack in 2019 because they probably didn't have the funding to put on what looked like an attempt. They don't have a snowball's chance in hell of winning, but I really would like to see them try. It would put them one up on the conservatives.
We might see something from them this time around. They've found a good wedge issue in being anti-lockdown . All other parties unanimously support the current policy but polling suggests that some twenty-odd percent of Canadians think the lockdown measures have been too strict. It won't be enough to form the government but if the PPC can capture that voter block they have a reasonable chance at some seats.
