Well that's interesting!
Reform candidate Chuck Cadman was first elected as MP in 1997 in the British Columbia riding of Surrey North, winning the seat again in 2000 as Alliance. When he failed to win the Conservative nomination in 2004, he ran as an independent and won the seat again. He is remembered for how, while battling cancer in 2005, he helped keep the Liberal minority government in power during critical votes, and that he died in office on July 9 of that year. In the 2006 election, his wife Dona endorsed a family friend to replace him: the NDP's Penny Priddy, who won handily. When Priddy decided not to seek a second term in 2008, Dona, by then reconciled with the Conservatives, won the seat for one term, being defeated in 2011 by the NDP's Jasbir Sandhu.
