NDG-Lachine NDP candidate Peter Deslauriers (right) launched his campaign last week, seen here with 'ground coordinator' Jeffrey Mackie on his left. At campaign HQ (on Monkland) opening last Thursday, they were discussing the logistics of where to place the hundreds of campaign signs seen behind them. This is Deslauriers' second run in NDG-Lachine for the NDP. He lives in the riding on Rosedale Ave. in NDG. Deslauriers taught History and Economics at Dawson College from 1973 to 2006, but recently retired to make time for his research and political activity with the NDP. (Martin C. Barry)
