Canada's Liberal Party wins one more seat after Quebec recount

Season 1, Ep. 8244

A single vote in a Quebec riding has brought Canada's Liberal Party one seat closer to holding a majority in parliament.


A judicial recount in the Terrebone riding declared Liberal candidate Tatiana Auguste the victor with 23,352 votes, ahead of Bloc Québécois incumbent Nathalie Sinclair-Desgagné, who received 23,351.


The result gives the Liberal Party 170 seats in the House of Commons, two seats shy of the 172 required for a majority.


In a statement on social media, Auguste thanked the citizens of Terrebone for their trust and promised to "get to work".
