Ontario Tories win Toronto byelection after flip-flopping on sex-ed curriculum
TORONTO — Ontario’s Progressive Conservatives won a provincial byelection Thursday in northeast Toronto, but it may have come at a cost.
City councillor Raymond Cho won the Scarborough-Rouge River riding, defeating the Liberals in a seat they have held since it was created in 1999. It’s the third byelection in a row the Tories have won since Patrick Brown became leader last year and a breakthrough for the party in Toronto, where they hold no other seats.
Brown said the victories herald a PC majority in the next provincial election.
“There is not any riding in the province of Ontario that Kathleen Wynne’s Liberal party can take for granted,” he said.
