Well the by-election is done, and here are the somewhat interesting results:
Party / Candidate /Votes/ % Votes
Canadian Action / Will Arlow /49/ 0.1%
Independent / Robert Ede / 68/ 0.2%
Conservative / Dianne Haskett /8,434 / 24.3%
PC Party / Steve Hunter /132 / 0.4%
Green Party / Elizabeth May / 9,091 / 26.1%
Liberal / Glen Pearson /12,064 / 34.7%
N.D.P. / Megan Walker /4,939 / 14.2%
Total number of valid votes: 34,777
Polls reporting: 235/253 Voter turnout: 34,777 of 89,139 registered electors (39.0%)
I was impressed to see the Green Party perform that well... as well as being disappointed at the lower than usual voter turn out. Anyways it looks like 75% voted centre->left which I'm sure has got the Conservatives a little worried given how wrong the party predictions turned out (and of course the resignation of a Cabinet member over the Quebec as a nation passing in the House today).
