    We’re not going this way, he’s going into the trash heap where he belongs on April 28.

        In order to support a friend of mine lives in this riding — she’s been braving Ottawa weather going door -to-door for Fanjoy, despite being in her 60s — I donated the max allowed to Fanjoy.

        Ok fine. The “in support” is only half true, the other part is that I’m a petty dork who would take tremendous joy in being a small part in seeing PP lose his own seat.

        Edit: I just refreshed my Home feed and saw your Fanjoy post there. Great work.

          I’m debating whether to donate to that riding campaign. The gap seems large. Should I or would the money be better spent on the overall campaign?

            If you’re calculating best possible return on investment, nationally or in a more competitive riding would probably be the most useful. The national ads have been pretty high quality so far, such as the Mike Myers one, and many of the competitive ridings are ones that were completely unexpected and have few resources.

            But also, life’s too short to always just be about the best return on investment. I was happy to help support my friend, she was absolutely tickled pink to be able to tell her fellow volunteers that she brought in a donor. And yes, because doing something petty can feel good too.
