Third option, very unlikely but 91 people register in the by election and 4 of them are named Pierre one with a French last name starting with P.
The ballot is alphabetical and he is bunched in between the other PPs, the real PP stands up but no one in Alberta knows French much or how to read because education is underfunded so they elect the independent Pierre Pondulac
I'm pretty sure that Alcatraz would be incredibly unsecure as drones could easily reach there and drop contraband which would not have been possible back when it was last used as a prison.
