York Region sends 4 Conservatives out of 7 to Ottawa: Congratulations Lois Brown, Peter Van Loan, Peter Kent and Paul Calandra

Update: I just realized Rahim Jaffer was defeated last night by the NDP. Therefore we did not sweep Alberta. Keith Martin also held his seat by 68 votes. Sorry for the confusion...

Congratulations to Lois Brown, Peter Kent, Peter Van Loan and Paul Calandra who pulled off Conservative wins in York Region last night. York Region now has 4 out of 7 MPs representing the Conservative Party.

It was also great to see gains in Mississauga, Halton, Oakville, Kitchener, London, Brant, Huron-Bruce, Kenora, and general vote increases virtually everywhere else in Ontario including Toronto.

Thanks to Leona Aglukkaq's win in Nunavut, we now have representation in Canada's North!

In Quebec it was great to see Jean-Pierre Blackburn re-elected. I personally hope Maxime Bernier returns to cabinet.

Congratulations to Peter MacKay in Central Nova. We saw gains in the province as Robert Thibault was defeated by Greg Kerr.

It was great to see a gain in PEI with Egmont. Congratulations Gail Shea on taking the seat. Danny Williams ABC campaign obviously cost us in Newfoundland. It also cost Newfoundland representation in the Conservative government and caucus. As far as I am concerned, the onus is on Danny Williams to repair the damaged relations with Harper as a result of this campaign.

And how about New Brunswick?? Goodbye Paul Zed. Liberal Charles Hubbard was also defeated. Keith Ashfield also picked up a seat for the Conservatives in Fredericton.

Congratulations to Shelly Glover in Saint Boniface boosting our seat total in Manitoba!

In Saskatchewan, we came close to sweeping the province. In Alberta we once again swept the province taking 65% of the vote!

Finally, 5 seat pickups in BC. Gary Lunn holds his seat. Donna Cadmen is going to Ottawa. Keith Martin goes down in defeat. Congratulations Alice Wang for the win in Richmond. Congratulations to all Conservative incumbents who held their ridings.

I would also like to congratulate our leader Stephen Harper for growing his seat total to 143. Canadians have trusted us with a larger mandate and it is time to get to work on their behalf.
Liberals finished with 76 seats, the Bloc 50, NDP 37 and the Greens were shut out. Congratulations go out to former Conservative Bill Casey who was re-elected as an independent. Also congratulations to Andre Arthur who also won his seat as an independent in a race where there was no Conservative opponent.

Overall a great election for Conservatives. I am quite satifisfied with the verdict of the people, particularly in Ontario and BC. Thank you to all the Conservative volunteers across the country who made this victory possible.

In Newmarket-Aurora, it feels great to once again be a blue seat. I would like to congratulate Tim Jones and the Liberal team for a strong campaign. I would also like to thank Belinda Stronach for her service to the community as an MP and through various charitable work. I am looking forward to Lois Brown representing us in Ottawa and am extremely happy that her determination over 5 years has finally paid off!!!!

Thanks for reading and voting...
