A few more items to report today:

• Dufferin – Caledon, ON - In addition to nomination candidate Jeff May, whose candidacy we reported on here earlier, word comes from the Caledon Citizen that if former Liberal M.P. Garth Turner decides to run again, it may be in this riding rather than his former riding of Halton. The riding is currently held by three-term Conservative M.P. David Tilson. Thanks to a commenter on an earlier blogpost for pointing out this clipping
• Regina – Qu'Appelle, SK - Elections Canada is reporting that the Green Party renominated its 2008 candidate, Greg Chatterson, by acclamation on June 14, 2009 in this east Regina riding. Chatterson previously ran for the Canadian Action Party in 1997 in the same riding, which is now held by three-term Conservative M.P. Andrew Scheer.
• Malpeque, PE - The Green Party's candidate page is also reporting the renomination of Peter Bevan-Baker as their next candidate in this riding, which is now represented by long-time Liberal M.P. Wayne Easter.
• Edmonton Centre, AB - The TinyPerfectBlog from Alberta is reporting that communications consultant and recent municipal candidate Lewis Cardinal is set to announce his bid for the NDP nomination in this riding, currently represented by two-term Conservative M.P. Laurie Hawn. Cardinal's Facebook page appears to confirm this, and also shows former NDP candidate for the riding, Donna Martyn, as supportive of his candidacy, so one assumes she will not be running against him. Cardinal has a news conference scheduled for Thursday in Grant Notley Park, aptly enough.
  

In addition to Robert Bertrand, whose possible candidacy in Pontiac, QC we reported on in the last blogpost, Garth Turner makes the 20th name of a former Liberal M.P. who I've seen express interest in running in the next election.
