Federal ByElection Results

The results of the first two byelections in Stephen Harper's tenure as Prime Minister are in.

The Liberals won London North quite handily, with CPoC candidate Dianne Haskett coming in third place, behind Elizabeth May - the newly minted Green Party leader. Since this was a Liberal riding in the first place, it's hard to say that this is a statement about Harper's government per se, but I would say that Elizabeth May's showing is impressive indeed.

As for Repentigny in Quebec, it appears to have remained easily in Bloc Quebecois hands.
