Vaughan
‘I’m a Canadian and a taxpayer first’
Two weeks after gaining the support of the former Liberal candidate in Vaughan, Conservative incumbent Julian Fantino loses the support of the former Conservative candidate.
‘Our interest is in having as many people out to hear our message as we can’
On the off chance anyone was prevented from attending one of his events, Stephen Harper now apologizes.
On second thought
Having recently lost the Liberal nomination in Vaughan, Tony Genco now endorses the Conservative candidate he was defeated by in November’s byelection.
The perfect Harper Conservative
Behold, the quotable Julian Fantino. He is humble, but he claims the right road; he is tough, but he is a victim; he is unafraid, but he laments anyone who would question his moral authority. He is a folksy, tough-talking, passive-aggressive self-described underdog team player who refers to himself in the third person. And he offends Liberal sensibilities.

By-election brouhaha
You are looking live… at your computer, where, if you so desire, by-election results for Vaughan, Winnipeg-North and Dauphin-Swan River-Marquette will be posted gradually after polls close at 9:30pm EST.
Let us now derive great meaning from small, isolated events
Like we did a year ago, we’ll go “live” for by-election coverage this evening.
The hockey by-election
The Liberals have decided to counter Don Cherry’s endorsement of Julian Fantino in Vaughan with a Ken Dryden endorsement of Tony Genco.
WWDCD?
Don Cherry imparts his wisdom on the Vaughan by-election.
The Facebook by-elections
Keeping in mind Facebook’s predictive powers, the current tallies show the Liberals ahead in Vaughan, the NDP up in Winnipeg-North and the NDP leading in Dauphin. That last one would likely count as a shock.
By-election expectation
In addition to each party dismaying of its chances—the Conservatives, for instance, are suddenly quite keen on Michael Ignatieff—it will no doubt be said over the next two months that by-elections naturally favour the government or opposition.
