Nomination News Updates Etc.
A few updates this evening, and one little oopsie. It seems I mixed up my notes, and listed the September 10 nomination meetings in Nickel Belt and Sudbury in orange but saying Lib, and then carried that error over to my last blogpost about the contested Liberal nomination in Sudbury, ON.
So, the Liberal nomination meeting in Sudbury is *NOT* scheduled for September 10 (or at least if it is, I haven't been notified of that). However, the NDP nomination meeting in Sudbury *HAS* been scheduled for September 10. Please accept my apologies for any inconvenience this error may have caused, and I'm correcting the earlier blogpost as well.
OK, onto the new items: some new Green Party nominations have shown up in the Elections Canada nominations database:

OK, onto the new items: some new Green Party nominations have shown up in the Elections Canada nominations database:
- Pickering – Scarborough East, ON - Greens in this riding located east of Toronto picked a new candidate, technology sales and marketing consultant Kevin M. Smith, by acclamation at their meeting on June 25. The riding is currently held by six-term Liberal M.P. Dan McTeague, who has won handily since 1993.
- Don Valley West, ON - Returning for a second try in this north Toronto riding is Georgina Wilcock, who ran for the Green Party here in the aborted by-election last year and the general election that superceded it. She was nominated by acclamation on July 14. The riding is currently represented by first-time Liberal M.P. Rob Oliphant, who took it by a margin of 5.5% over Conservative candidate John Carmichael. Carmichael himself is also apparently renominated for a third run, but I'm still trying to track down the date and other details.
- Palliser, SK - A date has now been for the NDP nomination in this Saskatchewan riding encompassing southwest Regina, Moose Jaw and surrounding rural areas. So far confirmed as running is lawyer Noah Evanchuk, who appears to be inheriting some of the organization of recent provincial leadership candidate Ryan Meili. The meeting will be held in Moose Jaw on Saturday, September 19. The riding was won by first-time Conservative M.P. Ray Boughen last time in a battle of former mayors of Moose Jaw, over the NDP's Don Mitchell, to replace the late Conservative M.P. Dave Batters.

on don valley west i wouldn't be surprised if john carmichael runs there again and gives it one more try .although rob oliphant has been mp for almost a year he's yet to do anything impressive or really made a name for himself , it appears he's geting by just off the fact he's a liberal in toronto . the ndp and greens get some votes in dvw but both are pretty weak there . the weak ndp vote was also seen by many as one of the main reasons why john tory failed in this riding at the provincial level .
Anon,
My information is that John Carmichael has in fact been renominated, but I can't seem to locate the date or whether it was by acclamation or just what.
If you know anything about that, and/or could help fill in the details, I'd be grateful.
Again, thanks for taking the time to offer your comments.
