Variety of influential political stars visited the Calgary city today as their candidates were midway campaigning for the byelection in Calgary Centre. The leaders of NDP, Tom Mulcair, and Liberal, Bob Rae, paid a visit for supporting their party’s candidates in the riding.

Rae toured the city knocking door to door to introduce his party’s candidate Harvey Locke on Tuesday, who is contesting for a seat from Calgary Centre. The Liberals have not been able to win an MP in the city since 1968, however now Rae is hopeful that Calgary Centre is a winnable seat. Rae said that “we have a terrific candidate. It’s the centre of the heart of Calgary, it’s a very diverse riding. It’s in many ways a demographic as they say, is very similar to downtowns all over the country.”  He added that “He’s going to be able to carry on a very powerful tradition in this riding of people being outspoken, clear on behalf of the diversity of the riding, on behalf of the culture and on behalf of the changes that are underway in our cities right across the country.”

Mulcair used Tuesday night for supporting his candidate, Dan Meades, as they both addressed a crowd at Melrose Cafe and Bar. The leader of Green Party, Elizabeth May, also visited Calgary earlier this month for supporting her candidate, Chris Turner. Other candidates running are Conservative Joan Crockatt, Libertarian Tony Prashad and Independent Antoni Grochowski.

The byelection will be held on Nov. 26 for replacing Lee Richardson, who resigned back in May.
