As the dust settles after the federal election, we’ll take a look at what happened across the country. We’ll turn to BC, Ontario, Québec, and the Maritimes. Cape Breton’s Incumbent Liberal MP’s are going back to Ottawa. Liberal Fancy-Landry unseats Conservative Perkins in South Shore-St. Margarets, in Nova Scotia. In Ontario, Conservative Philip Lawrence secures a third term in the Northumberland-Clarke federal election. Then to the Pontiac region of Québec, where Sophie Chatel wins a second mandate. In British Columbia, Conservative Ellis Ross was elected in the Skeena—Bulkley Valley after 20 years of NDP rule. This election was not kind to small parties. To the NDP and Green Party in particular. So why do some candidates even bother when they know their chances are so low? Bad blood between the US and Canada has been hovering over the federal election. A growing number of Canadians are fed up with the US, selling their US properties & boycotting travel south of the border. Some are calling it The Exodus.
