If the NDP or Liberal candidates are unable to win this riding after that comment, who does that really reflect on? Not the Conservative candidate, let me tell you. They want him to back out as a candidate because they know it's the only possible way either party has a shot at a seat in Alberta.

It reflects on the voters in Calgary, more than anything. As is the case with Rob Anders, Calgarians will vote for the Conservative candidate regardless of what he or she says and does.
In almost any other area of Canada, if a candidate made a gaffe similar to Richardson's, their campaign would be effectively over. Here in Calgary, though, the CPC can count on us to check the box of their party no matter what.
