Canada Re-Elects Liberal Minority, Skeena and BC Go NDP

With nearly all ridings reporting in, Canadians have selected the Liberals to form another minority government.

While the Liberals are currently elected or leading in 158 of 338 ridings, they actually tail the second place Conservatives in total votes.

The Bloc Quebecois came in third, while the NDP and Greens placed fourth and fifth, respectively.

In the Skeena-Bulkley Valley, roughly 36 thousand turned in their ballots, a voter turnout of nearly 54 percent.

Of those who did cast their ballots, 42 percent voted to re-elect incumbent NDP MP Taylor Bachrach.

Conservative rep Claire Rattèe made the race close, coming just 2,000 votes short.

It was a bit wider margin in the Cariboo-Prince George riding, which saw incumbent Todd Doherty nab a decicive victory for the Conservatives.

And it was an even bigger Conservative win in the Peace River-Northern Rockies riding, as they re-elect Bob Zimmer as their MP.

As a whole, BC was almost entirely orange in the West, with only one riding going to the Liberals, and fully Conservative in the East, with one riding undecided.
