“It’s probably going to be Conservative win, but the fact that it’s close has to scare some Conservatives,” he said.MacKenzie said he believes the Conservative party parachuted its candidate Arpan Khanna into the riding without due process.
MacKenzie said Khanna’s nomination has led to people cancelling their Conservative memberships and clawing back donations.“He’s not a bad guy, but he’s got some cancer around him and he should shake that stuff out,” MacKenzie said.But it’s clear that the Conservatives would rather the country focus on Portage-Lisgar, where they are looking to stamp out People’s Party of Canada Leader Maxime Bernier’s bid to rejoin the House of Commons.
While it’s unlikely that Bernier will be elected, Fournier said, the Conservatives will be eying whether or not his party can grow that margin. Lori Turnbull, an associate professor of political science at Dalhousie University, said she sees this as a key opportunity for Poilievre to show he can rally support from the party’s right-most wing.
