Atlantic Canada's once monochromatic electoral map, awash in Liberal red since 2015, received a slight makeover Monday as the Tories, NDP and Greens punched holes in the Liberals' East Coast fortress.

Four years ago, voters across the region handed Justin Trudeau's party all 32 of the region's seats, which meant the Liberals had nowhere to go but down Monday as the election results rolled in from the four easternmost provinces.

In Nova Scotia, the NDP was shut out and the Tories managed to win only one of the 11 seats, even though the Liberals had shed no less than five well-known incumbents -- among them former Tories Scott Brison and Bill Casey. "Andrew Scheer did not make a warm and robust connection with the voters of Nova Scotia," said Tom Urbaniak, a political science professor at Cape Breton University in Sydney, N.S. "There was some hangover from the Harper era as well."

In New Brunswick, the Conservatives won a number of traditionally Tory ridings, with the party's candidates declared elected in Tobique-Mactaquac, New Brunswick Southwest and Fundy Royal."They thought this was impossible," Atwin, a researcher and co-ordinator for a First Nations education organization, told jubilant supporters at a popular brewery in Fredericton.
