Tory Kitchener victory confirmed

TORONTO — A judicial recount has confirmed a Conservative victory in the federal riding of Kitchener-Waterloo.

Peter Braid has been declared the winner over incumbent Liberal Andrew Telegdi by a mere 17 votes.

Braid garnered 21,830 votes compared to 21,813 for Telegdi, who'd held the riding for 15 years.

The election night tally on Oct. 14 showed Braid with a 73 vote win.

However, a validated count which found errors at two polls showed Braid winning by just 48 votes, triggering an automatic recount.

Had the difference remained above 61 votes, Telegdi would have had to apply for a recount.


Now, how about that Vancouver South recount?

Democracy deserves a full recount, surely knowing the truth is worth a few days of time?

Demand a recount! Force Election's Canada to do its job.

That's right. They need a public shaming in Vancouver South.

Why this blog now?

I am getting more crusty in my old age, seeing people simplify issues, or being just right out wrong is causing me consternation. Hopefully this political blog will allow me to vent in a somewhat intelligent and insightful manner. If not, then it should be good therapy!
