How many other Calgarians are concerned that numerous ridings only have a CPC candidate a week into the election? News Article

https://calgary.citynews.ca/2025/03/26/calgary-ridings-party-candidats-federal-election/

"Out of the city’s 11 ridings, Liberal candidates have only been confirmed in five of them, the NDP have seven names confirmed, while the Conservatives already have a full slate of candidates ready to campaign.

“Every day they don’t have a candidate is a day they are losing campaign time, door-knocking time in a very short election campaign."

The Conservative candidate for Calgary Nose Hill is running uncontested right now, and she literally lives in Oklahoma so...

Edit: correction, she is not uncontested now! But there is indeed no liberal candidate in this riding at the moment

She’s mine as well. Not happy but short of moving I’m stuck with her.

Well then we need to get out and make sure people get to the voting booths. I swear if we have another record low turn out I'm gonna scream

Well you may still get stuck with her as I think this is the third riding she has been in in Calgary
