What’s with the 91 candidates in Poilievre’s riding?
Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre is one of 91 candidates registered in the suburban Ottawa riding of Carleton. It’s tied for the record of having the most candidates on the ballot with the 2024 byelection in the Montreal riding of LaSalle—Émard—Verdun. The majority of the candidates are connected to an electoral reform advocacy group called the Longest Ballot Committee. Mark Moutter, an independent candidate in the riding who is part of that initiative, joins Power & Politics to discuss why he’s put his name on this large ballot.
Poilievre faced more opponents than ever in his eighth federal campaign, thanks to dozens of protest candidates running in his riding.
Most of the 91 candidates in the Ottawa-area riding of Carleton are part of the Longest Ballot Committee. The group has organized similar long ballot initiatives in the past as a way to protest against Canada’s first-past-the-post electoral system.
