Canadian by-elections, 2016 (next event: Quebec provincial byelections [Dec 5])

[Krago]

The by-election to replace Shaun Chen (new Liberal MP for Scarborough North) as the Toronto District School Board trustee for Ward 21 (Scarborough-Rouge River) will take place on Monday, January 25.

There are 20 candidates running for the position.

Moe Banga, Mo' Problems

And the 8th place finisher was Sam Jhajj, not Sam Jhahh (though admittedly he was less a viable candidate and more a triple-word score).

For you RB:

Are the tissues for wiping away tears or for, umm, 'other purposes'?

[Krago]

Doesn't Forum usually do a poll for Ontario by-elections?  Did I miss the one for Scarborough-Rouge River?
