Despite dealing with a handful of disruptions at various stations across the country, Toronto and Greater Toronto Area (GTA) residents headed out to the polls on Monday.
CityNews is projecting the Liberals have won enough seats to stay in power with a minority government but have fallen short of winning a majority.
For Toronto and GTA ridings, there wasn’t much in terms of surprises of altered outcomes. Here in Toronto, the Liberals had hoped to pick up some of the 15 seats they need to form a majority and entered the night widely expected to sweep every riding in the city, all considered red heavy.
Toronto-Danforth saw Julie Dabrusin win her riding while Melissa Lantsman of the Conservatives managed to hold her riding in Thornhill.
The Liberals’ Anita Anand was declared the winner in Oakville; a significant development for Canada’s vaccine minister. Anand was a rookie MP after winning in 2019 when she was appointed.
She quickly became in charge of the country’s efforts to secure COVID-19 vaccines and was often on the campaign trail with Trudeau.
Two notable flips came in Markham-Unionville, where Liberal Paul Chiang took his riding; a region that strongly leaned in the Tories’ favour heading into the election. The other was Aurora-Oak Ridges-Richmond Hill, which goes to Leah Taylor Roy.
The Conservatives had a 1,000 vote lead in that region back in 2019.
In Toronto, former “The Social” host and rookie MP, Marci Ien, took her Toronto Centre riding by ensuring a win for the Liberals. Chrystia Freeland, meanwhile, won re-election in her downtown Toronto riding of University-Rosedale.
The deputy prime minister and finance minister will now have a chance to keep building a national child-care system announced in her April budget.
According to Elections Canada, almost 6.8 million people voted early, most of them at advance polls over a week ago, and the rest through special ballots cast by mail or at Elections Canada offices.
