General Politics Discussion

A few factors that made it tough for Mike: (1) Carney LPC momentum / not running against a bowed out Liberal definitely ate some votes (+13% from 2021); (2) boundary changes added more CPC aligned areas (look here with the 2025 boundary overlay: https://www.election-atlas.ca/fed/); and (3) while he's a model MP that I wish dearly we had more of in Canada working to earn representation, the Greens (and NDP) being such a non-factor on the federal stage is a permanent anchor on his viability, even if key parts of the Green Party fit his profile.

To quote Kermit: It's not easy being green!
