Dan for Mayor is a Canadian television sitcom starring Fred Ewanuick that debuted on March 1, 2010 on CTV and The Comedy Network.[1][2] It premiered the same night as Hiccups, a show created by Corner Gas star Brent Butt that also featured fellow Corner Gas alumni Nancy Robertson.
Plot
The series stars Ewanuick as the titular Dan, a slacker in his early 30s who, after finding out that his ex-girlfriend is engaged, finds himself running for mayor for his home town, the fictitious City of Wessex, Ontario, by a chance comment. When his opponent Bud, the original shoe-in for mayor, is hit by a bus and killed, Dan becomes the only candidate, until he alows open for candidates again. The cast also includes Mary Ashton, Paul Bates and Benjamin Ayres. In reality all municipalities in Ontario will be holding elections on October 25, 2010.
Filming locations
The series' location shooting took place entirely in Kitchener and Waterloo, Ontario; recognizable locations include Kitchener City Hall (as Wessex City Hall) and the Huether Hotel (as Fern's Grill, Dan's workplace).
