Well that's interesting!
After 95 runs both federally and provincially since 1979, death is likely the only thing that will stop Turmel from trying again. As of 2023, he has run against 136 profiled individuals in PoliCan, mostly in Ontario. His brother Raymond was also a perennial candidate from 1981 to 2000 but cannot in any way be compared to John.
