Liberals, Conservatives should be doing better candidate vetting
You can typically expect some candidates to be dropped during an election campaign. But this time around, the Liberals and Conservatives have pitched the poll as being one of the most important in a generation. Such sloppy vetting and careless nomination processes do not inspire confidence in either party to show the seriousness required of this moment.
Parties should have spent the second week of the election campaign firming up the last candidates for ridings across the country. Instead, the Liberals have an extra hole to fill, while the Conservatives have lost a whopping four faces from their team.
