Vote 2015 – Sarnia–Lambton
CPAC's Martin Stringer looks at Sarnia--Lambton in southwestern Ontario, a bellwether riding that has voted for the winning party ever since it was created in 1968. Sarnia--Lambton is also known for being a major hub of Canada's petrochemical industry. The riding does possess a significant rural component as it includes a large swath of Lambton County. Pat Davidson, who held the riding for the Conservatives since 2006, has retired from politics and the party has turned to Marilyn Gladu to take her place. Gladu is a Sarnia businesswoman and chemical engineer with 20 years experience at Dow Chemical and Suncor. The NDP candidate is Jason McMichael, a customs officer and union rep. The Liberal challenger is David McPhail, a retired teacher and former chair of the Sarnia-Lambton Chamber of Commerce. Peter Smith is the Green candidate, a scientist and engineer who has worked in the region’s petrochemical industry.
