In Delson for one seat representing the northern part of the town, Jean-Michel Pepin of Action Delson won with 652 votes against Perry Doe (IND) 275 votes. Turnout was 32%. Turnout for the mayor's race was 34.3%

In Boucherville the mayor's candidate easily won. Josée Bissonnette (Équipe Jean Martel - Option citoyens - citoyennes) received 479 votes to 148 votes for Monique Reeves (IND). Turnout was 16%

Pierre Renaud is the new mayor of Beaupré. He got 407 votes while Jonathan Tremblay got 109 votes. Turnout was 15%.  Michèle Abdelnour was elected to council in district 6.

There were 5 candidates running for district 5 in ville Mont-Royal.

Claude Demers – 19 votes
Charles Faribault - 16 votes
Barbara Lapointe - 174 votes
Sarah Morgan - 53 votes
Michelle Setlakwe - 256 votes

Turnout was 24.5%. Faribault was a tv journalist on TVA. He was against the fence along Parc-Extension.
The winner, Setlakwe, is from the parti Action Mont-Royal, the party of the mayor and control all council. Looking for the result, unless there are many women with the same name, I found she is daughter of a former Senator appointed by Chrétien and spouse of Michael Fortier.

16 votes for the anti-wall candidate? Mount Royal residents love their wall. Gotta keep those Mexicans dirty hippies in Parc-Extension out! I suppose they're all backing Trump too?

I don't know if the fence was an issue and if it's a factor in his result. In the article I read he said it was his most controversial proposal.

Since never, unless it changed in the last 2 years. Given the state of housing there, I doubt hippies would move there anyways.

It's rather "poor immigrants talking not French nor English". Also "forest of satellite dishes", there is like 10 on every building.

In the underwhelming battle of the backed progressives for the TDSB by-election in Toronto Centre-Rosedale, Chris Moise won.
Moise was backed by both NDP aligned Councillors Pam McConnell and Kristyn Wong-Tam and unions OSSTF and CUPE. On the other side Li Koo was the Liberal, supported by MPP Glen Murray, MP Chrystia Freeland, as a former TDSB chair and MPP Donna Cansfield.

Moise - 36%
Koo - 28%
http://election.toronto.ca/epr2014/eprDetail.do?114 - Turnout was low, as to be expected. 15% or so if I did the math right.

15% is very good for a school board by-election.

According to Elections NB, there are "municipal by-elections" scheduled for November 14, but don't say which ones. I'd imagine it's a planned date for any vacancies that should occur between the last elections and then, so I guess Miramichi will get a by-election then.

Calgary Midnapore: Kenney is leaving federal politics for Edmonton, probably trying to commandeer the PCAA's smoking hulk.

Helps that it's downtown rather than suburban.

I'm thinking Trudeau pulls the trigger on all three vacant/future vacant Alberta seats for the same day... probably looking at a late October / November date depending on when Harper and Kenney resign.

Fleury I am pretty sure is a Liberal. He's the mayor's biggest ally on council, and he's surrounded by the local Liberal machine.  Fleury might actually be a potential Liberal candidate.

Fleury decided not to run in provincial Ottawa-Vanier. Wants to stay close to home for now. Madeleine Meilleur was ready to support him.

Preparing to replace Mauril Bélanger, then?

I was thinking that. He could start a family. Working in Ottawa he would not have to travel. Another reason he gave is he is copresident of Ottawa Celebrations 2017. Maybe it means the federal by-election would need to be more than a year from now unless he just doesn't want to say he,s waiting for the federal opening with better pay and no commute. He says he's willing to move to another level of politics in the future.

This is rather morbid speculation, considering Belanger is still alive. Is there talk of him stepping down?

It's like Layton five summers ago.  We all know, yet discretion demands, etc etc.

I'm not speculating on his death or resignation, I think Bélanger will try to end his term and retire in 2019. It's quite obvious the seat will be open next election, through.

That would be the most tedious set of by-elections in quite some time

Given how rapid his deterioration's been, I'd be looking into three more months (if even that) rather than three more years for him.  And as everyone knows, the national anthem issue's been a symbolic farewell gesture on his behalf; so if the prognosis is terminal, everything's being "managed".  And I don't think anyone other than the crankier Conservative types is raising a fuss over his non-resignation at this point--Belanger's earned his right to die with his Parliamentary boots on.
