Immigration: New Democrat

Labour Relations Dept: Surrounded by supporters at a community hall in the city's southeast, Obhrai pumped his fist in the air and shouted with glee as the poll numbers rolled in and the Tories inched into majority territory, according to Calgary Herald. New Democrat Al Brown, a failed provincial candidate and SAIT labour relations officer, was in second place, while Liberal challenger Josipa Petrunic was third despite a spirited campaign against the sitting member and conservative incumbent Deepak Obhrai won in Calgary East Monday night, with early results showing the veteran MP was likely to equal the massive two-thirds majority he garnered in the 2008 general election. "I feel ecstatic," he told a gathering of about 60 supporters. "It was tough doing deals with those guys when we had a minority, but now we'll finally have a stable government and a chance to focus on the economy." As reported in the news.
