there's a byelection, like, right away. it's the seat that the previous finance minister was in.

these were the results from last november:

Liberal Bill Morneau 31,271 57.37

New Democratic Brian Chang 12,142 22.27

Conservative Ryan Lester 6,613 12.13

Green Annamie Paul 3,852 7.07

even if the ndp candidate stands down (and it won't), she'll be lucky to come in a distant second.

so, she's going to lose an election within days of being elected leader. and, then what?

it's a giant step backwards in terms of climate advocacy, and that's what i actually care about.
