Conservatives nominate candidates for two coming byelections

Mar 11, 2026 | 9:52 AM

OTTAWA — The federal Conservatives have nominated candidates in two of the three byelections set for April 13.

Adrienne Charles, who ran for the Tories in last spring’s election, will once again be on the ballot in Terrebonne, Que.

That byelection was ordered after the Supreme Court annulled the Liberals’ single-vote win over the Bloc Québécois candidate.

Don Hodgson will carry the Conservative banner in Toronto’s University-Rosedale.

That seat was left vacant when Liberal MP and former cabinet minister Chrystia Freeland resigned.
