Both races were much closer than they were last time

On Monday, Ien took 42 per cent of the Toronto Centre vote — a precipitous 15-point drop from the result garnered last fall by former finance minister Bill Morneau, who resigned abruptly in August amid reports of tensions with Trudeau over massive spending on pandemic relief measures and the fallout from the WE Charity affair.

Paul had urged Trudeau to postpone the byelections, arguing that it was unsafe to send voters to the polls in the midst of the second wave of the deadly coronavirus. The York Centre race would likely have been even more of a squeaker had it not been for the presence of one-time Conservative leadership runner-up Maxime Bernier, who ran in the riding for his breakaway Peoples Party of Canada. He captured a little more than 600 votes, less than four per cent, most of it likely drawn away from his former party.

erinotoole you still lost to the Liberals. Liberals won both seats.

No sweetie. Multitudes of Canadians (without a death-wish) are thankful Trudeau was at the helm for this shite-storm pandemic. Check yourself O'Toole, you might just learn something.

Bullcrap

Huh?

Hey erinotoole honestly don’t care what you think I think about JustinTrudeau Give me good positions and perspectives on policy or stfu. It’s not a popularity contest and trying to torpedo this guy is bad strategy just ask your last 2 predecessors

What a BS story...

Close results but erinotoole you did not win. You like AndrewScheer were given a gift and you botched it.

How is anyone at all still voting corrupt Liberal? Must be $.

A known race baiting 911 conspiracist wins in downtown Toronto. Brilliant.

Surprisingly?

York centre voted conservative in 2011, liberal in 2015. Is that considered a stronghold?
