Wait, perhaps "patched — put together a post" refers to a post about how he was "fixed" or "repaired" in some way after his expulsion, but that's not the case. He was expelled, and then the seat was contested again. The user might want a post about the process of patching up the political situation after his expulsion. Alternatively, maybe a post about how the Conservative party had to "patch together" a new strategy in the riding after losing Schellenberg.
Wait, perhaps there's confusion with another candidate. Maybe the user is mixing up Dr. Schellenberg with someone else. Alternatively, maybe there was a by-election or another way he returned. But I don't recall any such events. Maybe the user is referring to the fact that after his expulsion in 2016, the Conservative party had to find another candidate for the riding, and perhaps he was "patched back in" in some way, but that's not accurate. The Conservatives actually selected a new candidate, Peter Kelly, who ran in 2019 but lost to the Liberal candidate, Julie Dabrusin.
Wait, maybe I need to clarify the timeline. In 2015, he was elected but then expelled the next year. Then, he ran in 2019 and lost. So after the 2019 election, he was not re-elected. The user might be referring to something else. Alternatively, perhaps there was an event after 2019 where he made some kind of comeback or re-entered politics, but I don't recall such events. Maybe the user is confusing events or there's a different context.
What do you think? Does social media erase past actions—or make them too visible? Let us know below.
In October 2015, Dr. Duncan Schellenberg, a dentist from New Brunswick, was elected as the Conservative Member of Parliament (MP) for Sackville–Eastern Shore. However, his political career took a dramatic turn just months later after revelations about offensive comments he had made in 2011. These included sharing a now-infamous "racist" meme mocking Indigenous communities and making derogatory remarks about a Mi'kmaq community.
I should verify some details: When was he expelled? February 2016. He was first elected on October 19, 2015. The resolution to expel was passed on January 26, 2016, and the actual expulsion occurred in February. After that, the Conservatives had to find a new candidate for the riding. The 2019 election was in October 2019, where Peter Kelly lost to Julie Dabrusin.
So the post should probably outline the timeline, the reasons for his expulsion, the political implications, the 2019 election result, and perhaps reflections on the case in relation to Canadian politics. Also, address any legacy or impact he might have had post-expulsion, such as his involvement in media or other activities.
Wait, actually, now that I think about it, in 2015, when he was first elected, his riding was Sackville–Eastern Shore, right? After the election, the House of Commons voted to expel him because of the comments he made in 2011, including sharing a meme that was considered racist toward Indigenous People and making comments about a Mi'kmaq community. The vote passed, so he was expelled. Then, after that, he ran again in the 2019 election and lost. So the user is asking about being "patched — put together a post," perhaps referring to the aftermath of his expulsion and maybe the subsequent events after he lost in 2019.
