=2.The actual Green Party vote in Saint Laurent (not just its vote percent) increased over 2015.

What was the story there w/ Daniel Green?
Turns out he's actually the deputy leader of the party, so I imagine the Greens focused a ton of resources on St-Laurent.

How popular was he? Every election he's been in since 2003 has been razor close.

Unlikely. The practice in toronto has been not to have a byelection when we are past the half way mark of the city council term. I expect council to pick a temporary replacement who will promise not to run next year

They really should promise they won't run for elected office.  We saw what happened in Etobicoke with James Maloney.  The City of Toronto basically gave him the name recognition for free.

Well, the one improvement the Tory government is over the previous NDP government is they only take 4 months to call by-elections instead of a year Tongue

Will be interesting.  The NDP (and ONDP) always seem within reach in Sault Ste Marie, but even with strong candidates the last couple of times, they didn't do the best.  I do expect the Liberals to lose a lot the vote, I'm not sure the former mayor is as popular as the Liberals like to point out, and with the Liberal unpopularity in Ontario, particularly in the North, I see voters moving over to either the ONDP or PCs.  Should the ONDP take this riding, it shows that the Blue/Orange tossups are in play for the ONDP, and that the PCs aren't going to be able to take them for granted.

FWIW, I fully expect a 3-way race in the Soo, and wouldn't be surprised if it ends up being a PC-NDP race.

The Liberals may be running a former mayor, but she lost in the last mayoral election (to another Liberal to boot), which is usually a sign that she wasn't very popular. In municipal politics, it is fairly rare for an incumbent to lose.

Option Nationale in third now. Today the PQ Gouin riding president said he would vote ON. Maybe they will have a goos showing if it's a trend for PQ orphans.

Some questions:
I thought there were talks of an ON-QS merger? And yet they're in third?
I also thought the CAQ was polling in first place in province wide polling? I know Gouin isn't their best area, but they're in danger of finishing fifth.

With QS at 68% it's more interesting to watch 3to 5th place and the minor candidates with single digit votes. Every candidate has more than 0 vote now.

That was only Mainstreet, Leger still has the Grits ahead. QS-ON talks haven't gotten that far yet.

QS voted to have talks of merge with QS yes. The PQ riding president chose to vote ON since the QS agreement is not happening so PQ voters might not vote QS or stay home or do as he is doing and vote ON.

CAQ is weak in Montreal and especially in a leftist area so I don't think it's a surprise if they do badly.
