Simcoe North By-Election Date

Q191: Before the end of 2015, will a by-election be held in Simcoe North?
Yes: 65%

Patrick Brown, the Ontario PC leader, is planning to run in a by-election in Simcoe North, where the local MPP stepped down to allow him to have a seat.  Ontario Premier Kathleen Wynne has said that she will call a by-election after the October 19th federal election, although Brown asked for an earlier by-election (see story here).  The delay may or may not push the by-election past the end of 2015.  The by-election is unlikely to be held in the second half of December, given the Christmas holidays, and there may not be enough time to hold it before then.  However, given the pressure from Brown, I think that a by-election will indeed be held relatively quickly.
