In 2022, the riding of Algoma-Manitoulin-Kapuskasing was dissolved and redistributed. Formerly represented by NDP Carol Hughes, Terry Sheehan of the Liberal Party is our new Federal representative for Sault Ste. Marie/Algoma. With 285 of the 287 polls reporting (7:36 a.m.) he captured 47.2% of the vote. In actual ballots, Sheehan took 29,917 votes with Conservative Hugh Stevenson with 28,432; 1,485 votes less.
NDP Laura Mayer had 4,160 votes, but has stated that she is willing to run again. NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh was not re-elected, and announced he will step down once an interim leader is appointed. The NDP has also lost official status, having only 7 seats. Counting will resume at 9:30 a.m.
Elections Canada has paused the vote count, with voters not knowing whether Mark Carney/Liberal Party has won a majority or minority mandate.
