“They were bragging that they were going to crush us in Vaughan with their star candidate,” Liberal MP Mark Holland told reporters. “Conservatives should be worried” that they took the riding by only a thousand votes, he said.Ah, yes... the hoary old... "because I say so"... gambit.
So in a by-election – which voters typically use to punish the government – the Liberals lose a riding they have held by large margins for 22 years in a region where they absolutely must make gains to have any hope of forming a government, but it’s the Conservatives who should be worried.
How's that workin' out for you?
