Vote Share: Seat and Surrey-White Rock

vote share: They also easily retained a safe Liberal seat in Newfoundland and Labrador and another in Toronto, although their vote share declined somewhat in those ridings, according to National Observer. The Conservatives, who retained a safe seat of their own in Saskatchewan, took consolation in the fact that they increased their share of the vote in three of the four byelections. The Liberals snatched the British Columbia riding of South Surrey-White Rock from the Conservatives in a close-fought contest. But it's the second time since Andrew Scheer took the helm of the Conservative party last May that the Tories have lost a seat; in October the Liberals snagged a long-time Conservative seat in Quebec's nationalist heartland in a byelection. I think the message we're putting forward and the connection we're building with Canadians of focusing on the middle class and delivering for them has resonated, Trudeau asserted Tuesday. There was no consolation for New Democrats, who saw their share of the vote drop in all four ridings Monday and in all six since Jagmeet Singh was elected leader in early October.
