You know sometimes these perennial candidates eventually hit the jackpot. Wayne Gates had run and lost for the NDP in Niagara Falls quite a few times before finally winning the byelection in 2014 and then getting re-elected in the general election!

federally Dan Harris won 2011 In Scarborough Southwest, he ran half a dozen times before being elected, before being knocked off by Bill-weed-is-still-a-crime-Blair Tongue

Nenshi confirms he has no interest in running for Harper's seat. So, who are the Grits gonna nominate in Scarborough?

I do love the naivety of folks who think every seat is winnable.

Wonder who the Tories will run. It's an awfully plum seat for a star candidate.

Irene Mathyssen won a bunch of times too, though that was after she was swept up in the 1990 orange crush.

If Shan wins, it would be hilarious for the TDSB would have to run a fifth by-election in just two years. These necessary by-elections with single digit turnouts are going to cripple the board.

And of course, the ultimate benchmark: Mel Swart running multiple times provincially and federally over a quarter century before finally winning in Welland in 1975.

Besides,  with 30% and second place twice in SRR before this, Neethan Shan is too viable to be dismissed as a mere "perennial candidate".

There's people like Alain Giguere who ran a bunch of paper campaigns (7 in his case) in Quebec until winning big in 2011.

Ottawa-Vanier: Madeleine Meilleur is quitting politics. Plum seat for a star Francophone candidate...

Ahh cool, a by-election in Ottawa. Should be fun Smiley

If the NDP were to win a majority government, they'd probably win Ottawa-Vanier, but they're not near that right now. A star candidate might make things interesting. The riding does include some of the most left wing parts of the city (Sandy Hill & Lower Town).

The NDP would need a STAR candidate to win, this is a pretty solid Liberal riding, the NDP has done well in the past but no so much on the Provincial side, the best was about 20% in 2011, but dropped to 13% in 2014. Federall in 2011 the NDP hit almost 30%, 20% last year with a relatively strong candidate.
-Mathieu Fleury - the Councillor for Rideau-Vanier, he seems progressive he might be a NDPer or a Liberal... not sure
-Erica Braunovan - Trustee for Zone 10 - volunteered for the NDP before might be a possibility but her French would have to be great, and I believe she lives in Centretown (Ottawa Centre)
-Emilie Taman - 2015 Fed candidate.

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. Another councillor in this riding with Liberal connections is Tim Tierney. Not sure if he is bilingual though, which is crucial in this riding. The riding's third councillor is Tobi Nussbaum, who is more progressive. Not sure of his partisan politics, but he is in his first term, so doubt he will run.

Speaking of school trustees, former OCDSB trustee Bronwyn Funicello (who ran in Ottawa South for the NDP recently) actually lives in Ottawa-Vanier and represented part of the riding. Could be a possible candidate.

Another *potential* provincial byelection (and potential NDP pickup, for that matter): York West.

The Liberals love their mid-summer by-elections, don't they?

Oh and, re:Ottawa-Vanier, Mathieu Fleury might be considering a run. Almost certain it will be for the Liberals.

I don't think they have much choice in this case...the vacancy occurred in February so they have to call it by sometime in July

Marie-Victorin: Drainville is quitting politics to replace Normandeau on her radio show. Safe PQ. He's the 11th MNA to quit this Assembly.

Whitby, North Ward by-election results:

Rhonda Mulcahy: 1950 (36%)
Sean Perkins: 1147 (21%)
Nathan Staneland: 1054 (20%)
Sameena Asgar: 427 (8%)
Keith McCaughley: 380 (7%)
Ron Lane: 199 (4%)
Christian Pritchard: 184 (3%)
Dave Sansom: 37 (1%)

By-election was called to replace cllr Derrick Gleed who was appointed to Durham Regional council following Lorne Coe's resignation to run in the recent Whitby-Oshawa provincial by-election (which he won for the Tories).

The ward covers the part of Whitby north of Taunton Rd, which is geographically mostly rural, but is home to some newer subdivisions and is dominated by the community of Brooklin.

Mulcahy is the publisher of the "Brooklin Town Crier" a community paper serving Brooklin.

Sean Perkins is the son of Pat Perkins, the former mayor of Whitby and former MP (Conservative).

June 19th is also the date for a by-election in Boucherville for district 3. Josée Bissonnette is candidate for the mayor's party. She is a school commissioner. Monique Reeves is independent. She is a former councillor and wants to give a voice to opposition (maybe all council is on the same team).

http://www.la-seigneurie.qc.ca/actualites/politique/2016/6/11/deux-candidates-avec-des-projets-plein-la-tete-.html

There is also an election for mayor of Beaupré, east of Québec City. Pierre Renaud is a councillor and interim mayor. He has the support of council. The council also supports Michèle Abdelnour for district 6 against another candidate. Renaud and Abdelnour talk about the need of debt reduction. The other candidate for mayor is Jonathan Tremblay, former NDP MP. He received only 61 votes in a council by-election last year.

http://www.lautrevoix.com/Actualites/Politique/2016-06-02/article-4547560/Lancien-maire-suppleant-Pierre-Renaud-candidat-a-la-mairie-de-Beaupre/1

In Donnacona the two candidates are new to city politics. Isabelle Blackburn is a provincial civil servant, concerned about health and security of citizens. Jean-Claude Léveillée had a career in the military and now in business.

http://www.lapresse.ca/le-soleil/actualites/les-regions/201606/17/01-4993110-deux-nouveaux-venus-visent-la-mairie-de-donnacona.php?utm_categorieinterne=trafficdrivers&utm_contenuinterne=cyberpresse_B13b_les-regions_578_section_POS2

In Delson, councillor Stéphane Perreault vacated seat number 1 for north district to run for mayor. Running to replace him for that seat and from the same party is Jean-Michel Pepin.
The independent candidate for city council is Perry Doe. The independent candidate for mayor is Christian Ouellette. He owns a real estate agency, was involved in local chamber of commerce and was on city council for a term in early 2000s. He is not making promises, he will do that in the general election next year. (I checked the facebook page of the two mayor candidates and Ouellette is liked by many more people) I think both candidates are supported by a couple of councillors.
