Bruce Fanjoy is running against Conservative leader Pierre #Poilievre in #Ottawa Carleton.

👉 In the span of a few hours over 300 of Fanjoy's red Liberal signs were stolen or vandalized in Carleton. Conservative campaign signs remain intact.
👉 The "Long Ballot" disrupters have recently registered dozens of independent candidates in the riding.

Bruce is asking Carleton residents to hang a Canadian flag on their house as he works to deliver new campaign signage.

Data from Elections Canada: This is why time spent by a candidate in a seniors home or a boomers club is WAAAY better spent time than time spent at a university campus club. If there's 100 people at your campus club meeting -- you'll be lucky if 50 actually vote. If you go to a Legion Hall euchre tournament, odds are good that there are 65-70 actual voters there. #elxn45 #cdnpoli

“This didn’t just pop up this year in response to Trump and the tariffs. There is a fairly profound divide within the #Conservative movement.. …When things are going well, you don’t have people like [Jason] Kenney and [Jason] Moore coming out. So if this is about the fracturing starting to come, I feel bad for [#PiPiLeQ]; I don’t think there’s a way to stop it.”

— Lisa Young, a political science professor at the University of Calgary

CBCFissure among Conservatives undermining Poilievre's pitch he's a national unifier: experts | CBC NewsLong-simmering tensions within the Conservative movement are bursting out into the federal election, experts say — undercutting Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre’s efforts to present himself as a unifier who can take on U.S. President Donald Trump.

"That one must defend supply management at all costs — but never propose expanding it into other agricultural sectors, weirdly — is part of the basic received-wisdom package uploaded into all federal politicians’ cerebral cortexes upon their arrival in Ottawa. Otherwise they will feel the wrath of the Terrifying Big Dairy Lobby."

Supply management is a system designed to make healthy food more expensive for Canadians.
