In most cases the party is taking who they can and if they win the nomination, they get to run. I'm not sure how that is an insult to you as a voter. Did you support someone else for that nomination? Do you have someone in mind who is better qualified and wants to put in that work, time and resources into what is likely a losing cause?
The problem and best part of democracy is that we get what we deserve.

What a fantastic excuse. There a millions of people in western Canada. And they can't find one single legit person for that riding? They can't even make sure the one they do find is vetted properly? I'm not sure how I deserve that lame of an excuse. At least this one knew where her riding was unlike the NDP's legion of child soldiers.
