More By-Election Candidates and Websites
The Green Party has acclaimed its candidate for MIKR, rounding out its own slate and in fact rounding out the slate of major party candidates for the 4 ridings:
In fact, it looks like they took the photograph from Jim Burrows' website, and dropped the other candidates' photos into it:
- Montmagny – L'Islet – Kamouraska – Rivière-du-Loup, QC - Farmer and nature-lover Charles Marois was acclaimed by the Green riding association this past Sunday, a reader writes to say.
- Hochelaga, QC - The Green candidate Christine Lebel was in fact acclaimed by their riding association back on September 23, the reader also advises. Looks like she may be joined by a neoRhino candidate, Gabrielle Anctil, who although not yet nominated has a few thoughts on the current state of the sign war in the riding.

Interesting, so this means 6 of 20 candidates running in the 4 ridings are Women. 30%
The Liberals and NDP are running all male slates, while the Bloc, Conservatives and Greens are running 50:50.
Of the smaller parties, the Marxist-Leninist party is batting 1000, while the Christian Heritage Party is 0 for 1.
And in CCMV, it's an all-male slate across the board.
While we're at it, the Liberals appointed 2 candidates, and had 2 contested nominations.
The NDP had 1 contested nomination, nearly had another one, and acclaimed the other 2 candidates.
The Conservatives had 1 contested nomination, 2 acclamations, and I haven't been able to tell how Mme. Cloutier in Hochelaga was selected, but she was either appointed or selected as the only applicant by the local Conservative EDA board.
The Bloc had 1 contested nomination and 1 acclamation.
The Greens acclaimed all 4 candidates.
Just 3 of the 20 candidates have ever run federally before, if you're looking for more trivia.
I favour open nominations wherever possible myself, but in a small subset of ridings they can produce skewed results. Still 30% does always seem to be the ceiling, doesn't it.
