By-elections in Alberta make me think of when Arthur Meighen ran in a by-election in 1942 as the new leader of the Progressive Conservatives.
PM WLM King hated him so much, he didn't run a candidate against him (as per tradition) but did give campaign resources to his CCF opponent.
Meighen lost.

Yes it’s -25C out but there’s also a beauty to it in the morning.
It’s made all the more beautiful because I’m inside, warm, drinking a coffee.

Today on From John to Justin: Neil McLeod!

I finish my look at the first five premiers of PEI with Neil McLeod. Thrust into politics suddenly, he served as premier only briefly, but had a much longer career in law on the island.
