Liberal, Conservative candidates still battling for seat in Winnipeg's westernmost riding
CBC
Some Winnipeggers went to bed Monday not knowing who their member of Parliament will be, with the race in their riding still too close to call.
The battle for Charleswood-St. James-Assiniboia-Headingley, the city's westernmost riding, was still neck-and-neck between Conservative incumbent Marty Morantz and his challenger, Liberal Doug Eyolfson — who held the seat before Morantz won it in 2019 by a margin of 2,417 votes.
Eyolfson, an emergency room doctor, took a slight lead over Morantz in the early hours after Manitoba's polls closed at 8:30 p.m. CT.
Later in the evening, though, Morantz — a long-time Winnipeg city councillor before he moved to federal politics — started to pull ahead.
But with Justin Trudeau's Liberals projected by CBC to win another minority government, Eyolfson told supporters there was reason to celebrate.
"We don't know how this race has concluded yet, but we know this is a good night for Canadians," he said shortly after 11 p.m. at his campaign party.
CBC News didn't project a winner in the riding on Monday night. Shortly past midnight, with 160 of 170 polls reporting, Morantz led by 400 votes.
