It will be déjà vu for Tory Leader Pierre Poilievre when he contends for a House of Commons seat next month, as a protest movement again loads up the ballot in his sought-after riding with dozens of candidates.
The Longest Ballot Committee announced its intention to target the byelection in the Alberta riding of Battle River-Crowfoot weeks ago. The group is well on its way to meeting its goal. Fifty-four candidates tied to the group had officially been registered with Elections Canada as of July 16.
