List of Candidates who have stepped down
LAST UPDATED: Friday January 8, 2010.
One of the most popular features of the last election was the list of candidates who stepped down. Since we've just had our first one for the 41st General Election Cycle, it's time to resurrect that feature.
Not officially nominated, but withdrawing themselves from running was: Nathalie Le Prohon (Lib - Jeanne Le Ber - Dec 20, 2009).
I learned my lesson this time, though, and will be maintaining the list in my own database as well, along with the date, and the URL for the information source. As time permits, I'll try and add that to the site.
If you information to update this list with, please get in touch.

Steve Armstrong will probably run again federally anyway, but for now he has stepped down as the federal NDP candidate in Leeds-Grenville to run in the provincial by-election.
