In attempting to give Monday’s federal byelection in Alberta the longest ballot in Canadian history, a group of electoral reform advocates may have instead created the shortest one — and with further policy changes possibly on the horizon, the future of such protests is unclear.
Elections Canada issued special write-in ballots — where voters simply fill in the name of their preferred candidate — after the group known as the Longest Ballot Committee organized over 200 candidates to run against Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre in Battle River-Crowfoot.
I’m sure it will be reborn next federal election and it will target conservatives.
