Lining up to be Langley’s MPs CANDIDATES STILL HAVE PLENTY OF TIME TO GET INTO THE RACE D AN F ERGUSO N Ti me s Re po r t e r
With just under two-and-ahalf months to go in Canada’s longest modern election campaign, potential candidates still have plenty of time to get in the race. At 78 days, the long march to the Oct. 19 election date that began on Aug. 2 is only exceeded by the epic 89-day Canadian election campaign of 1872. But the deadline to file the necessary nominating papers with Elections Canada is three weeks before election day. Which is why, though all the major parties have announced candidates for the newly-created Cloverdale-Langley City and Langley—Aldergrove ridings, the Elections Canada website was reporting “there are no candidates who have been officially confirmed in your electoral
district” when The Times did a search for candidates on Monday. So far, here’s who has announced they will be running: In Langley—Aldergrove, Conservative MP Mark Warawa is going for his fifth victory in a row. Warawa, a former Abbotsford city councillor, represented both Langleys before the recent redistribution that split the territory in two. His accomplishments, as listed on his campaign website, include the Aldergrove Border Crossing and Bedford Channel upgrades, rebuilding Nicomekl Bridge and the construction of the Carvolth Bus Exchange and several legislative initiatives including Kassandra’s Law “calling impaired driving what it is: Vehicular Homicide.”

Daughter fighting to keep mom’s killer behind bars The daughter of a murdered Langley woman is asking for the public’s help to keep one of her mom’s killers behind bars. In 2013, Rupy Sidhu created an online petition to deny parole to Sandeep Toor. On April 19, 1998, Sidhu’s mother, Baljit Kaur Kondolay, was brutally murdered in Langley.
She was shot twice in the head in front of her home. Police arrested three men — Kondolay’s husband Ajit Grewall, his son Sukhjit Grewall and the son’s friend, Toor. The Grewalls both received life in prison for first degree murder, with no chance of parole for 25 years.

SLOW AND STEADY: “Mr. D” a 13-year-old African spur thigh tortoise, was one of the exotic creatures on view during the Animals in The Plaza event at McBurney Plaza on Saturday. Julie Clemas holds a smaller 35-year-old three-toed Eastern Boc turtle named “Mr. Pierce” so that four-year-old Tyler Appleyard can gently touch the shell.
