It's not going to be a walk in the park for the PC's. It's a very ethnically diverse riding where people vote more for individuals than parties.
Last year, PC's only won that riding because Manmeet Bhullar was very well-known and liked in the area otherwise it would have been an NDP win who only lost by 800 votes or so.
Wildrose was a distant 3rd...like 2800 votes behind.
Whichever candidate resonates with the ethnic population and has the backing of community leaders is going to take Greenway....irrespective of what the pundits are feeding the mainstream media or what the polls are saying.
Its a wide open election.

Yeah I posted my comment before the PCs appointed a candidate. I have no idea why they would do that as opposed to just bumping up the nomination to get things prepared sooner on their end. Seems like a poor choice that could hurt them.
