LIBERALS CAPTURE THREE OF FOUR BYELECTIONS
Justin Trudeau’s Liberals scored another byelection upset Monday, taking the B.C. riding of South Surrey-White Rock from the Conservatives. Gordie Hogg won the riding with 47.5 per cent of the vote. In Toronto’s Scarborough-Agincount, Liberal Jean Yip won a riding left vacant by the death of her husband, Arnold Chan, in September. Liberal Churence Rogers easily retained Bonavista-Burin-Trinity in Newfoundland and Labrador and the Tories held onto a safe seat — Battlefords-Lloydminster in Saskatchewan.
