Races to watch — the results

Earlier today we posted a story identifying nine strategic ridings. Here are the results:

CENTRAL NOVA: Though Elizabeth May gave Peter MacKay a run for his riding during the campaign, the Tory heavyweight came away with a resounding victory.

PARKDALE-HIGHPARK: The race was too close to call until well into the evening, but Liberal Gerard Kennedy eventually edged out the NDP’s Peggy Nash.

HALTON: Conservative Lisa Raitt topped Garth Turner, the Tory-turned-Independent-turned-Liberal.

VANCOUVER CENTRE: Hedy Fry proved, once more, that she’s the giant slayer of downtown Vancouver. Tory Lorne Mayencourt did surprisingly well, placing second.
