Green, Tassi re-elected, new candidates Collins, Muys elected, CBC projects

Two Hamilton-area members of parliament have retained their seats, and CBC News projects that two new MPs will head to Ottawa.
Hamilton Mountain remains too close to call.
Filomena Tassi, a Liberal who recently served as minister of labour, has been re-elected in Hamilton West-Ancaster-Dundas. And Matthew Green, NDP MP from Hamilton Centre, regained his seat.
Conservative Dan Muys of Flamborough-Glanbrook will become a first-time MP, and Liberal Chad Collins will represent Hamilton East-Stoney Creek.
Muys has worked behind the scenes on campaigns for years, and said he was reluctant to run himself. His goal, he said after his victory speech, is to improve rural internet.
"Even at the Binbrook Fair last weekend, with the internet at the fairgrounds, literally you couldn't get a signal," he said.
"We live in rural Flamborough, where this is a daily challenge."
