Algoma-Manitoulin-Kapuskasing Election Candidates Unclear As Campaign Underway

While Canada's 44th federal general election is now underway, it's unclear who will be vying to represent this riding.

So far, only two parties have announced their candidates for Algoma-Manitoulin-Kapuskasing: the Conservatives have picked professional engineer John Sagman while the NDP are sticking with incumbent Carol Hughes, who's running for her fifth term.

Neither are listed on Elections Canada's website at this time, though it notes the nomination process is still open until August 30th - three weeks before the September 20th election day - with a complete list of confirmed candidates to be released September 1st.
