The surprise upsets, dramatic losses and nail-biting races of election night
CBC
The post-election makeup of the House of Commons looks a lot like it did when Parliament was dissolved for the election in August — another minority Liberal government — but the campaign saw a few surprises and interesting races along the way.
One thing is certain: the next cabinet will look different, now that Prime Minister Justin Trudeau needs to replace at least two ministers.
According to CBC's projections Tuesday, Bernadette Jordan — who at dissolution was the minister of fisheries, oceans and the Canadian Coast Guard — won't be returning as a cabinet minister after losing her Nova Scotia riding of South Shore–St. Margarets to Conservative Rick Perkins.
In Ontario, the riding of Peterborough–Kawartha has lost its reputation as a bellwether: Maryam Monsef, previously the minister for women and gender equality, trailed behind Conservative Michelle Ferreri.
Since 1965, the candidate elected in Peterborough–Kawartha has almost always been a member of the party that went on to form the government.
Monsef's Ontario colleague also won't be rejoining the cabinet table. CBC decision desk projects that the Conservative's Anna Roberts has defeated Seniors Minister Deb Schulte in King–Vaughan.
It was a night to forget for the Green Party, but Greens still had something to celebrate — candidate Mike Morrice was projected to win the riding of Kitchener Centre by a considerable margin.
The leader of Canada's Green Party had some strong words for Nova Scotia's Progressive Conservatives while joining her provincial counterpart on the campaign trail. Elizabeth May was in Halifax Saturday to support the Nova Scotia Green Party in the final days of the provincial election campaign. She criticized PC Leader Tim Houston for calling a snap election this fall after the Tories passed legislation in 2021 that gave Nova Scotia fixed election dates every four years.
