Historical MPP prior to 1967

I noticed these were removed from the Provincial list some time ago

Thomas Alexander Murphy (1926-1948) -- Beaches
Reid Scott (1948-1951) -- Beaches
William Henry Collings (1951-1963) -- Beaches
Robert John Harris (1963-1967) -- Beaches

I assume this was done because the riding name was changed. Where else would such historical lists go? It seems appropriate to have this information somewhere?

Conservative Presence

I've removed the references to Burrough as the CPC candidate in Beaches-East York, because, at present it seems to violate WP:NOR and WP:V. There's no campaign website, no newspaper article - nothing to indicate that he was nominated. Burrows is not listed on the Conservative Party of Canada website as the candidate for Beaches-East York. Originally there was a link to a twitter account which was CALLED "BurrowsforMP" but the Wikipedia rules say "tweets, are largely not acceptable as sources". In any case, that account doesn't have so much as a Conservative logo to indicate he is the nominee. — Preceding unsigned comment added by UrbanisTO (talk • contribs) 23:19, 31 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
