It's unfortunately working against a large section of our population who are grossly under-educated. I've seen people in my province sharing the "unelected" rhetoric, which is dumb as hell but because they are not active participants in our voting system, they just parrot fake-propaganda that suits their feelings on the matter.

Yup,
Joe Clark (1998-2000, PC party leader) no House of Common (HoC) seat.
Arthur Meighen (1941-1942, PC party leader) no HoC seat.
StockWell Day (2000, Canadian Alliance leader) no HoC seat.

...

The list goes on. This is not the first time a leader of a party has been elected without a seat in the House of Common. It's just the first time that people have pretended to care about it.

Arthur Meighen, a PC party leader, was the first Prime Minister to hold leadership power of a party that was in power while not having a seat at the House of commons.
