Side note, Carleton riding had like 20 or 30 independent candidates. I have to believe that is some specific targetting of Polievre, its only weird that we didnt see the same thing in the Neapan riding next door.
If im not mistaken, last election there was someone running in Quebec named Maxime Bernier, no relation to the PPC, but same riding. . He was a Rhino Party candidate I think.
I don’t think it had the effect of costing Poilievre votes, but it probably did bring interest and higher participation by typically ambivalent people in that riding.
