Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre is one of 91 candidates registered in the suburban Ottawa riding of Carleton. It's tied for the record of having the most candidates on the ballot with the 2024 byelection in the Montreal riding of LaSalle—Émard—Verdun. Most candidates are connected to an electoral reform advocacy group called the Longest Ballot Committee. Mark Moutter, an independent candidate in the riding who is part of that initiative, joins Power & Politics to discuss why he’s put his name on this large ballot.

I’ll have to ask my grandfather, who has pretty low mobility, if he had any trouble. After all, I don’t live there any more but my parents, two grandparents, and sister still live in Pierre’s riding. I haven’t heard anything yet, but if he’s not voting it’s not the fucking ballot that’s slowing him down but the reduced mobility that would make it hard for him to get there in the first place. If he’s worried about actually getting there then he can get a mail in ballot, and may have even done so, at which point it all becomes a lot simpler.
Yes, folding it up is not the easiest task, but c’mon, give me a break.
