‘It’s not the same Atlantic Canada that it once was, where people remain loyal to the same party as their grandparents, and party was almost like a religious denomination’

The Liberals lost their blanket support of the Atlantic provinces Monday night, as the Conservatives won five seats in the Maritimes, the Greens took one seat in New Brunswick and the New Democrats won a single seat in St. John’s.

In Fredericton, voters elected Green candidate Jenica Atwin, earning the Green Party its first federal victory beyond British Columbia. Cape Bretoners also departed from a traditional Liberal vote, giving one of two seats to the Conservative Party, which had placed strong bets on the island following the resignation of Liberal MPs Cuzner and Mark Eyking.

While Cape Bretoners did not elect Battiste, they proved more forgiving toward Trudeau when images emerged of the leader wearing blackface costumes.
