I heard some buzz that Hochelaga BQ MP Réal Ménard will be stepping down to run in the Montreal municipal election this fall.
The NPD candidate in 2008 was Jean-Claude Rocheleau, one of the top stars. He came third with 14.4%, compared to the Liberal 20.7%, the Bloc 49.7%, and the Conservative 9.2%. The Conservative will fall even lower, but there's not much joy for the Liberals in the small number of votes available from that 9.2%. After Ignatieff turned his back on the Bloc, if Rocheleau runs again, could he overtake the Liberal?
Any word on what Stéphane Dion will do? I would think he'd want to go back to teaching at this point.
He's stubborn beyond all predictions. He's come back from the dead once, and won one underdog leadership campaign. What will he do next?
But a by-election in Saint-Laurent-Cartierville would be interesting. The Bloc got only 11.3%, the NPD 9.0%. Could be wide open??? Upcoming Federal by-elections By: West Coast Lefty (105 replies) April 25, 2009 - 12:48amottawaobserver wrote:
