It seems like the AP candidates who had a hope of winning their seats were running in ridings with very strong contenders from other parties.
I don't mind the FPTP system, even though it often screws us Federally I think it makes the most sense.

Yup, you can run in any riding you want, there's no requirement for a candidate to live in their riding, that's how parachute candidates work.
That being said, it make sense to run in the riding you live in, as people are less likely to vote for someone who doesn't live there.
