In case people aren't following, the by-election in Toronto St. Paul's is in the counting phase. What's notable as it's a deep-red riding. Like, Marianas Trench deep. Latte-sipping, granola-crunching, purple-haired deep. Even when Ignatieff tanked the LPC, they still won the riding by eight percent.
Currently they're leading the CPC by a mere 5%. They'll almost certainly win a Pyrrhic victory, but this fucking disastrous- even in the worst spanking in living memory, they did better. It's like the CPC winning Battle River-Crowfoot riding in rural redneck Alberta by only 5%.
