If you're riding has polling numbers that look like this and your party has no chance to win, don't split the vote.
Throw your support to the candidate with the best chance to defeat the Reformacon & deny them a seat in the HoC.
Vote strategically to defeat a Reformacon candidate.

I went all the way to the Alberta legislature to give a gift to Premier Danielle Smith.
But she wasn't there.
She was hanging out at a closed door Conservative MAGA meeting with the Trump crew that have targeted our nation's economy.
