GPR leaves Harper behind for the new Trudeau era «I haven’t had time to look at the results,» were Drouin’s "rst comment about the elec- tion tally to a cheering crowd of supporters at the GPR Liberal gathering at the G.A.B.’s Bis- tro in Rockland on Election Night Monday. «But I knowwe worked hard.#e campaign was long and people had plenty of time to realize that Trudeau’s Liberals had a good plan and that our (election) campaign was a positive one. People really wanted real change.

!e big media pundits are already decla- ring Justin Trudeau as the next phase of the political dynasty of his late father, Pierre Eliott Trudeau, leading the Liberals in a comeback to topple the Harper Conserva- tives. InGlengarry-Prescott-Russell, Libe- ral candidate Francis Drouin also enjoyed reclaiming the riding for his party, ous- ting incumbent Conservative MP Pierre Lemieux. #e longest federal election campaign in Canadian history "nished 78 days after it began with the Liberals returned to power with a 184-seat majority while the NDP is relegated to the back benches of Parliament again behind the Tories, after both parties lost many of their seats in the Grits’ vic- torymarch. Drouin himself slipped into the spotlight with a 53 per cent share of the GPR vote compared to 36 per cent for Lemieux.

votes lundi, soit 4600 de moins que lors de l’élection de 2011. Le parti a vu sa part de l’électorat diminuer de 8 %, grandement au pro"t des libéraux. Du côté des verts, seule la chef Elizabeth May a été élue aux Communes, tandis que la candidate régionale, GenevièveMalouin- Diraddo, a obtenu 1143 voix et 1,8 %du vote populaire, un peu plus de la moitié de la récolte de 2011. « Les électeurs avaient peur de diviser le vote et nous sommes souvent le deu- xième choix en tête, a expliqué la candi- date d’Alexandria. Notre parti n’a pas une vitrine et unemachine au niveau des autres grands joueurs et des changements au sys- tème de représentation pourraient nous donner notre place au Parlement. Moi, j’ai bien l’intention de continuer car l’expérience d’une première élection a été très enrichis- sante et j’aimerais reprendre les guides lors des prochaines élections pour les verts. most part, people were happy withmy work as their MP and what I did for the riding.» Both the NDP candidate Normand Laurin and the Green Party nominee Geneviève Malouin-Diraddo both fell far behind in the polls like their parties did in the overall vote. Laurin observed, during an interview, that many people who supported him in their hearts told him that they were going to vote Liberal as a strategic move rather than NDP because they feared otherwise the Conservatives would end up winning reelection again. «I can understand that,» he said, «in the end, people really did want a change. For my part I will continue to work hard to serve my community.» Green Party leader ElizabethMay won re- election in her riding.#e party’s candidate in Glengarry-Prescott-Russell takes some comfort from the fact that she managed a bit more voter support at the polls than her predecessor did back in 2011. «People were afraid of splitting the vote,» she said. «I amgoing to take this experience to heart and I would love to come back again as the Green candidate in the next election.»

But it was a Liberal tidal wave. #ey won and that is how the political game goes.» #e outgoingMP said he will cherish his time in o$ce, representing the riding, as much as he treasures his years of military service for the country. He expressed grati- tude for the support he received during his nine years in o$ce and also during the past weeks of his campaign. «We had good support, but it just wasn’t enough this time,» he said. «I think, for the

Le Nouveau Parti démocratique (NPD) et le Parti vert ont perdu des plumes lors de l’élection fédérale dans Glengarry-Pres- cott-Russell, et les candidats Normand Laurin et GenevièveMalouin-Diraddo sont d’accord sur le fait que le vote stratégique leur a fait mal. « Beaucoup de gens m’ont dit qu’ils avaient peur d’un retour des conservateurs au pouvoir et qu’ils ont voté libéral straté- giquement, a dit le candidat du NPD, Nor- mand Laurin. Je comprends cela et les gens voulaient du changement et ils ont voté en conséquence. Malgré la baisse, le NPD est toujours là et nous avons encore une voix au parlement.
