The major parties have now nominated their candidates for the by election in Toronto-Danforth set for March 19, 2012. The election will pick a successor to the late Jack Layton. The Liberals tonight picked advertising executive Grant Gordon (left) as their candidate. He has been seen as a lacklustre choice as has been the Conservative nominee Andrew Keyes (right). The conventional view, which may be wrong, is that local affection for the late Mr. Layton will work to get NDP candidate Craig Scott (centre) elected. In winning the Liberal nomination, Mr Gordon trounced Trifon Haitas, a Greek-Canadian journalist who describes himself as pro-life. There were concerns that the Liberals might be seen in this riding as a one issue party if Mr. Haitas has, by some chance, been nominated.
