The London, Ont., resident wants to be the Conservative candidate in the riding of Elgin-St. Thomas-London South
Pierre Poilievre’s biographer is seeking to join the caucus of the federal Conservative Leader he has written about, another high-profile candidate hoping to be nominated as the party continues to hold a strong lead in public-opinion polls.
Political scientist Alex Marland said in an interview that in some ridings, the real fight will be the nomination battle, not the actual election. Many ridings are either safe Conservative seats or trending for a change to the Conservatives, according to public-opinion polling. In Ottawa, former local CTV anchor Carol Anne Meehan, also a former Ottawa city councillor, is seeking the Conservative nomination in Ottawa West-Nepean. Liberal Anita Vandenbeld won the riding with 45 per cent of the vote in the 2021 election. The Conservative candidate garnered 28 per cent.
In Saskatchewan, former provincial cabinet minister Steven Bonk, first elected in 2016, bowed out of seeking re-election in this year’s provincial election to go after the federal Conservative nomination in Souris-Moose Mountain. His is competing against Mike Strachan, the mayor of the village of Torquay, for the nod.
