UPDATED: Another Contested Liberal Nomination On Tap

Thanks to a Twitter contact for letting us know this meeting had been scheduled:
  • Calgary West, AB - We noted last month that a contested Liberal nomination was brewing in this riding, and it will be taking place this Monday July 20. Running are former school board chair and two-time candidate Jennifer Pollock, and IT consultant Ernie Corbett. The riding is currently held by long-time Conservative M.P. Rob Anders.
  • Algoma – Manitoulin – Kapuskasing, ON - The chief administrative officer of Wawa, Chris Wray, has announced his interest in running for the Liberal nomination in this northern Ontario riding, Wawa-News.com is reporting. Former long-time Liberal M.P. Brent St.-Denis, who lost the riding to first-time NDP M.P. Carol Hughes on her third try in 2008, earlier ruled himself out from another run. No nomination date for the new Liberal has been set as yet. Thanks to a reader for passing this clipping along.
  • Churchill, MB - Still trying to confirm that the Liberal nomination unfolded as expected today. MKIO grand chief Sydney Garrioch was expected to win by acclamation, but given the time zones and distance I have so far been unable to locate any confirmation. If you know what happened, please get in touch. UPDATE: Confirmed by the Winnipeg Sun; the meeting took place in Cross Lake yesterday.
