The Garden City Rematch
Author: Leo Lehman (Liberal)12 Sep
The 2008 election is going to feature a rematch of the Liberal and Conservative candidates from the 2006 election.
Incumbent Rick Dykstra is once again facing off against 4 term Liberal MP Walt Lastewka. This is going to be one of the top 10 races to be watching in the country, as this riding was decided by 246 votes last time (Or one vote per polling station).
Also running for the NDP is former Brock united church chaplain Geroge Addision and for the Greens is long time candidate Jim Fannon. Neither Addision or Fannon are expected to win. Interestingly, the local Green Party & NDP headquarters are next door to each other in downtown St. Catahrines.
