Category:Candidates for the House of Commons of Canada

This category is for people who have stood as candidates for election to the Canadian House of Commons, but have not won election as a Member of Parliament. A candidate who has served as an MP is not to be filed here as a general rule, regardless of how many times they stand for re-election. Those articles should be filed in the appropriate subcategories of Category:Members of the House of Commons of Canada by political party and Category:Members of the House of Commons of Canada by province or territory rather than here. (A rare exception to that general rule exists if someone was a member from one party or province/territory and at another time was an unsuccessful candidate with a different party [e.g., Joe Peschisolido] or in a different province/territory [e.g., Jagmeet Singh, and also e.g., Peschisolido].)
