This hasn't been mentioned on here yet, but the Liberals have anywhere from a 9 to 13 point lead in Pontiac according to a Mainstreet riding poll released a week ago (decided 9% lead, decided & leaning 11% lead and 'who would you vote for today' = 13% lead). Even with the retiring MP's debacles, this looks like a safe Liberal hold with perhaps a smaller margin of victory this time around. https://ipolitics.ca/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/Pontiac-iPolitics-19August2021.pdf

Perhaps self explanatory that when your known as the ‘ naked mp ‘ in Ottawa you don’t exactly have a future there . so not really a surprise that Will Amos decided not to run again. So mostly new candidates this year Sophie Chatel for liberals , Michael Gauthier conservative and Gabrielle Desjardins bloc . somewhat of a swing riding so rather early to predict the race here.

Well, that's it for the ‘honourable member’ jokes. Though Amos did lose his '15 majority in '19; but it didn't matter because of how the opposition was split--and the whole Lawrence Cannon-era hangover element of the Cons chancing into a distant 2nd on those same old rural Ottawa Valley Anglo-fumes. That is, Liberal status quo reigns here, whomever's the honourable member or possessor thereof. (Though I don't know how many instances there are of so many polls going to the opposition despite an over 30-point margin and nearly 3:1 advantage--the Cons clustered in rural Anglo territory, the awakened Bloc clustered out Maniwaki way. All cancelled out by the outskirts of Gatineau.)

Liberal MP Will Amos announced today that he will not seek re-election: https://ottawacitizen.com/news/local-news/kanata-carleton-mp-karen-mccrimmon-will-not-seek-re-election-citing-health-challenges It's not a total surprise given his recent controversy in appearing naked on camera in the virtual House of Commons meetings. Given the large Liberal wins in 2015 & 2019, this riding probably still leans Liberal for now.

Peu de risque ici pour les Libéraux. La seule circonscription qui sera l'objet d'une lutte en Outaouais sera Argenteuil-La Petite Nation. Victoire libérale sans trop d'encombre.
