Toronto-Centre: Prime Minister Stephen Harper

Prime Minister Stephen Harper: Harper called the byelections on Sunday for Toronto Centre, the Montreal riding of Bourassa and the Manitoba ridings of Provencher and Brandon-Souris, according to Huffington Post. Both the Liberals and NDP are running star candidates in the two ridings and OTTAWA - The battle for opposition supremacy is on after Prime Minister Stephen Harper set Nov. 25 as the date for four federal byelections. Toronto-Centre and Bourassa are longtime Liberal strongholds, left vacant after the resignations of former interim leader Bob Rae and veteran MP Denis Coderre. However, New Democrats are making a concerted effort to snatch the two ridings away or, at least, make significant inroads. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
