Calgary Centre Byelection Picks Up
With a federal byelection two weeks away, Calgary Centre candidates are scrambling to capture the attention of voters.
Mudslinging and expected visits from Members of Parliament are signs that the race to fill the seat left vacant by Conservative MP Lee Richardson is picking up.
"I'm really sorry to see that it seems like some of the parties are busy fighting with one another when all of us - all of our volunteers - are out knocking on doors every day," said NDP candidate Dan Meades.
Despite a mail-out from the Green Party questioning his commitment to Calgary, Liberal Harvey Locke said he is taking the high road in the campaign.
"We have no desire to mudsling. We have a desire to bring people together and put a progressive voice on Calgary for Canada. That's our campaign. Our campaign does not need to take cheap shots."
Calgary's preference for voting Tory gives Conservative candidate Joan Crockatt an edge, but Calgary Centre has a transient, youthful population, raising the possibility of a non-Conservative win.
"You win by pointing out that your ideas are better and their ideas are inferior and telling people why," said political strategist Stephen Carter.
"I think I'd probably want to run on redefining the brand …I think Calgarians would be interested michael kors handbags in a new Green party or NDP or a new Liberal party that's defined by Calgarians."
The byelection vote will be held on Nov. 26.
Also running are independent candidate Anotini michael kors canada outlet Growowski, Libertarian Tony Prashad and Green Party candidate michael kors handbags outlet Chris Turner.
There's a split in Calgary in the conservatives. And it's about principles.
Calgary Herald: "Pat Moore says she doesn't like the way the Conservative nomination was controlled from michael kors factory outlet Ottawa, on short notice. And she doesn't think Crockatt Is a good candidate."
And these progressive-conservatives are supporting Harvey Locke -- because of his progressive values, his ardent support of a vision that has being fiscally prudent, michael kors handbags canada socially progressive, and environmentally soundness at home and abroad at the forefront. It's about these fundamental set of values that are drawing in a wide coalition of folks from the left or the right, many non-traditional voters for the Liberals to vote for the Liberals.
