Thursday\u0027s byelections are in Toronto\u0027s Scarborough\u002DGuildwood and Ottawa area\u0027s Kanata\u002DCarleton
It’s not traditionally thought of as the best season for politicking, when people are out enjoying the weather or away on vacation, but candidates in Thursday’s byelections in Toronto’s Scarborough-Guildwood and the Ottawa area’s Kanata-Carleton swear that voters are engaged — though it was a bit of a slow start.
Scarborough-Guildwood is looking for a new representative after Liberal Mitzie Hunter resigned to run in Toronto’s mayoral byelection, and the Kanata-Carleton riding has been vacant since the abrupt resignation of Progressive Conservative cabinet minister Merrilee Fullerton in March. McCrimmon, a military veteran, brings name recognition and experience to the byelection race, as the riding’s former Liberal MP. Provincially, however, the area has long been Progressive Conservative.
“Premier Ford and the government are very popular,” said Webster, who has worked as a lobbyist and government relations executive. “ don’t have official party status, they don’t have a leader right now,” said Coenraad, a medical lab technician and union rep. “So a lot of people are looking to have a voice.”
