Today's endorsements have almost nothing to do with the candidates themselves. They are the beneficiaries of an 'anybody but…' process.
Brenda Locke is not normally the kind of candidate I would enthuse about. But she's running against Nina Grewal, who doesn't belong in Parliament (see here)
Jennifer who? I know nothing about her. But the Liberals were the second place finishers (16k) to Rob Anders last time (31k). Maybe she doesn't have a chance of winning (rule 2). But hey--a guy can dream, can't he?
Take the Buckets Challenge. The rules: (1) try to create a list of candidates whom you would like to see in parliament that is balanced amongst parties and (2) contains only candidates who have a reasonable chance of winning. (Bonus marks for those who also provide gender balance!)
