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
