OTTAWA – Justin Trudeau’s Liberals scored another byelection upset Monday, snatching the British Columbia riding of South Surrey-White Rock away from the Conservatives.
Gordie Hogg won the riding with 47.5 per cent of the vote, just five percentage points ahead of Conservative Kerry-Lynne Findlay, a former Harper-era cabinet minister who represented a neighbouring riding for one term before being defeated in 2015. The New Democrat took less than five per cent of the vote.
