"The Liberal Party announced Saturday afternoon that family physician Dr. Danielle Martin will be their candidate for the upcoming federal byelection in University-Rosedale, the downtown Toronto riding Chrystia Freeland held until she stepped down earlier this month. Martin is the chair of the department of family and community medicine at the University of Toronto. In 2014, she defended Canada's health care system before a partisan U.S. Senate committee an act that received widespread attention at the time."
"According to a biography distributed by the Liberal Party, Martin "will be a strong advocate for people across the riding." "She is ready to work with Mark Carney and the Liberal team to build a stronger economy, protect the vital programs workers and families rely on, and empower Canadians with more affordable living costs and more opportunities to get ahead," the biography said."
Dr. Danielle Martin was nominated by the Liberal Party as its candidate for the University-Rosedale federal byelection. Martin serves as chair of family and community medicine at the University of Toronto and gained attention in 2014 for defending Canada’s health-care system before a U.S. Senate committee. The Liberal biography describes her as a strong advocate for the riding and positions her to work with Mark Carney and the Liberal team on economy, vital programs, affordable living costs and opportunities. She aims to succeed Chrystia Freeland, who stepped down after accepting a voluntary advisory role to President Zelenskyy. Elections Canada requires the byelection date to be set between Jan. 20 and July 8, 2026, with the earliest possible date on March 2, 2026.
