OTTAWA – The NDP now have a full slate of candidates in place in Manitoba.
The party appointed Dean Harder, 35, to run for it in Portage-Lisgar last week. Harder is a well known local new democrat and ran unsuccessfully for the provincial NDP in a byelection in Morris in 2013. He is perhaps best known for his battle against eliminating the Canadian Wheat Board monopoly and in 2011, was ejected from the public gallery in the House of Commons after he stood up to protest the government’s plan.
The Liberals have had a full slate in Manitoba for months. The Conservatives still have nobody on the ballot in Churchill – Keewatinook Aski. The Green Party says it has nominated August Hastmann to run there but Elections Canada doesn’t have him listed as an official candidate as of yet.
The Liberals are the only national party to have a full slate of candidates, with 338 nominations in place. The NDP are one shy with 337, while the Conservatives are three shy at 335.
The NDP are missing a candidate in Saskatchewan and the Conservatives are missing one in Newfoundland and one in Ontario as well as the candidate in Manitoba.
In total there are 14 Liberal, 14 NDP, 13 Conservative, 13 Green, 2 Christian Heritage, one Libertarian and one independent officially nominated in Manitoba’s 14 ridings.
