Kanata\u002DCarleton residents head to the polls to vote for their new member of provincial parliament Thursday.
It’s not traditionally thought of as the best season for politicking, when people are out enjoying the weather or away on vacation, but candidates in Thursday’s byelections in Kanata-Carleton and Toronto’s Scarborough-Guildwood swear that voters are engaged — though it was a bit of a slow start.
Ontario has seen dozens of temporary emergency room closures this year, often during overnight and weekend hours, and particularly in smaller and rural communities due to staff shortages. In the Kanata-Carleton area, the Almonte General Hospital and Arnprior Regional Health have enacted ER closures. The Kanata-Carleton Progressive Conservative candidate, Sean Webster, said carrying the PC banner gives him an advantage.
Melissa Coenraad, the NDP candidate for Kanata-Carleton, said residents feel like consecutive PC representatives have been fairly unavailable to them. And while McCrimmon did some good work as an MP, provincial politics are different, she said.
