YUP and MAX PPC had NO Seats ! WTF ? RJ
I think that most people thought of them as a fringe party. I know the people around here didn't take them seriously.
Of the almost 73,000 votes cast in my riding, the PPC only managed 1,369 (less than 2%). Compare that to the Conservative candidate, who got almost 32,000 (44%). The Liberals totaled about 23,000 (31%). The greens did better than the PPC, with a little over 8000 votes (11%)
In their latest release, the CSSA said that the PPC cost the Conservatives votes. From the TEAM CSSA E-NEWS | OCTOBER 24, 2019 --
Voting PPC cost the Conservative Party a total of seven seats – six ridings elected a Liberal when they could have elected a Conservative MP, and another elected an NDP. Had PPC voters supported an electable candidate, the Conservatives would have seven more seats in Parliament.
