Candidates Three candidates registered for the election:
Owen Burt (Liberal) - federal Conservative. Riley Harnett (NDP) Lin Paddock (PC) - Worked in the Canadian Armed Forces. Criticized for saying "we need to recruit in areas that love this [area], places like Germany where they adore the outdoors, not India and Pakistan where they will come here and then go to Toronto" during a debate. Later said it was a poor choice of words.
