It’s typically a question of who is available in the riding to run. And then they need to make it through the vetting process. And then they need to collect the signatures and deposit. And then they need to fill out the paperwork and submit it to Elections Canada.
It’s a lot of effort, just to be a name on a ballot.
They’re running a candidate in mine…but I’m not sure that’s actually better. Guy has no experience, which isn’t necessarily horrible…gotta start somewhere. He has no internet presence other than his green party page. His green party page is only accessable by web search, it’s not linked to anywhere on the green party page. There’s almost no blurb on his page. One line saying that he grew up in Vancouver, and then a paragraph of literally just the party standard line…my riding isn’t in Vancouver… it’s close by, but a different city.
