Too soon?
Not to be insensitive, but I'm extremely curious to see whether Elizabeth May will be running to represent the newly unrepresented riding of Repentigny.
Update, moments later: And, for that matter, what about Michael Fortier? It's not far from his stomping grounds of Montreal, and it's a riding in which the Conservatives made some significant gains during the last election (significant gains all the way to 18.08%, granted, but it was still good enough for a second place finish). He assured us that he'd leave the Senate once the next federal election rolled around, but with a riding opening up so close to Montreal...
(I jest, slightly - it clearly won't happen. But I'm not convinced, in order for the spirit of his post-election pledge to be upheld, that it shouldn't.)
