TURMEL, JOHN C   INDEPENDENT                              85   0.3

No surprise here. After former PC leader Ernie Eves vacates this seat, the new leader- John Tory is elected in a land slide. The Liberals are a distant 2nd. The Green candidate is also the leader of the Greens. And, John C Turmel loses his 59th election, extending his guiness world record.

I laugh every single time I see that a guy named Tory is the leader of the Tories.  He must have been made for that position.

Yeah well, let's hope he does not become Premier Tory with a tory government.

Although he actually ran (unsuccessfully) for Mayor of Toronto* before running for Ontario Tory leader.

*Small pit village in County Durham. Apparently also a big city somewhere in Canada. Ontario IIRC.

Somehow I doubt John Tory ran for mayor of Toronto, Durham

Sure he did. He was the first Tory they'd seen in the village since the Miners Strike in '84.

He was very lucky that the bus to Bishop Auckland turned when it did or things could have got nasty
