Thought we should have a thread on this there is a byelection on Feb. 4. The Liberals are running former Winnipeg mayor and former Canadian Urban Institute CEO Glen Murray. The NDP is running renowned street nurse Cathy Crowe. The Tories are running the same candidate as last time, but the media has it Murray vs. Crowe.
Of course TC is a safe Liberal riding, so I expect Murray to win. But it will be interesting to see the split between the parties. On the one hand, Murray is a former NDP turned Liberal who may be able to "Rae Democrats" , but he is not nearly as well known as Bob Rae. And the NDP is running an especially strong candidate.
Conservative support will almost certainly limited to "Lake Rosedale" but will be interesting to see what happens to their vote now that the John Tory Party seems to have turned into a Canadian version of Rush Limbaugh.
