Who's Running to Represent Edmonton In the 2021 Canadian Federal Election?
By Emil Tiedemann
Canada's 44th federal election will take place on Monday, September 20, 2021 (7:30AM-7:30PM), following Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's call for a snap election on August 15. There are 10 federal ridings in the Edmonton region, for which all 10 incumbents are running for re-election (the deadline for candidates to submit their nomination papers is August 30).
It's important for everyone to be at least informed about who is running in their riding (you can find out your riding HERE), which is why I wanted to make it as easy as possible for anyone living in the Edmonton area to do just that. Below are all the candidates that are running to represent us as a Member of Parliament (MPs) in Ottawa. Each incumbent will have an asterisk (*) next to their name.
All descriptions/bios of the candidates are copied directly from their own campaign websites or social media pages. Please do your own research on any candidates you want to know more about, as this blog post serves mostly as a starting point for Edmontonians to see who is running and what party they represent.

"Charmaine St. Germain has worn many hats in her life – from heavy equipment operator in the oil fields to retail clerk, office manager, and labour organizer. She understands the challenges facing working people and knows it is hard to get ahead without support, especially when governments keep giving breaks to billionaires while forcing the rest of us to pay the price.
A proud Métis, devoted auntie, and lifelong Oilers and Elks fan, Charmaine is an active community builder who volunteers with numerous local organizations. Now, she is standing with Jagmeet Singh’s NDP team to fight for our community in Ottawa and help build a fair recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic that benefits everyday working people.
As a labour organizer, Charmaine’s focus is on creating safe, healthy workplaces and fighting to close the gender-based pay gap. She has seen firsthand the sacrifices working people – especially working women – have made during this pandemic and is committed to fighting for a recovery which benefits them, not the corporations that have already profited too much.
Charmaine pledges to do everything in her power to make life more affordable for the hard-working people of Edmonton-Manning and their families. She will fight to make prescription drugs, childcare, and housing affordable for all, and champion bold climate action that creates well-paid green jobs, so everyone can thrive."

The results of this upcoming coming election are critical to ensuring we recover successfully from COVID-19 and make progress in building a truly prosperous community for ourselves and future generations.
