In a major upset for the Liberals, Conservative candidate Don Stewart won a Toronto stronghold in a byelection held on June 24. Stewart is slated to be the next member of Parliament for Toronto-St. Paul’s, an urban area that covers much of midtown Toronto.

Stewart won 42.1 per cent of the vote, compared to 40.5 per cent for Liberal Leslie Church, who was a close second. For more than three decades, the seat has been held by the Liberals, per CBC News.
