You don't need to be a resident of the riding you are running in,
but you may have to be living in the same Province.
But most Provinces have a lot of ridings considering we only have
10 Provinces plus 3 Territories, but there are 343 Ridings..
(a.k.a. Electoral Districts)

That Provincial restriction is just for Provincial elections, not
Federal ones. Sort of like comparing running for Governor there
compared to running for President.
