Candidates
Nidal Joad was born in Syria and was forty years old at the time of the election. The founder of a municipal political party called l’Action civique active, he unsuccessfully approached the Parti Québécois and sought the Liberal Party nomination before deciding to run as an independent in 2003.[1] He centred his campaign around economic issues, calling for the creation of a program that would allow Quebecers to carry out personal loans from their registered savings plans. He also supported a direct childcare payment to parents in place of daycare funding and claimed that he was the originator of Liberal leader Jean Charest's policy on centralized municipal taxation.[2] He received 109 votes (0.38%), finishing fifth against Parti Québécois incumbent Sylvain Simard.
In 2005, Joad started another new municipal party called Groupe succès vie municipale Sorel-Tracy.[3]
A Quebec Superior Court judge declared Joad to be plaideur quérulent in 2008, following a series of unsuccessful legal actions that the judge deemed as vexacious.[4]
Steve Ritter was a forty-six year old construction worker at the time of the election. Campaigning on horse and by bicycle, he called for a fundamental change in Quebec's political culture and the creation of a sovereign republic.[5] He received 100 votes (0.35%), finishing sixth against Parti Québécois incumbent Sylvain Simard.
