An appointment might make sense later in the term, but less than a year in, I hope they have the sense to just call a byelection. I know it's costly, but I think it would be the right thing to do given that the individual will be representing us for 80% of a full term.
Evidently, Regional Council may appoint the fifth-place finisher from last year, Elizabeth Clarke, to fill the vacancy left by Mr. Wettlaufer's death. I can see the sense, since she was only a few hundred votes behind in a relatively recent election. I still personally feel that a byelection would be called for.
