Conservatives maintain dominance in Calgary as Liberals win single seat
Global News
The Conservatives won all but one of Calgary's 11 electoral districts in Monday's federal election.
Calgary remains a Conservative stronghold after Monday’s federal election, winning all but one of the city’s electoral districts.
Although winners were declared early in most of the city’s ridings, it was a late night in Calgary-Centre, Calgary-McKnight, and Calgary-Confederation, where races were too close to call.
The Conservatives held on to Calgary-Centre, where incumbent Greg McLean was re-elected for his third term after a tight race with Liberal candidate Lindsay Luhnau.
McLean told reporters he was pleased with the growth in Conservative support across the country and in Calgary.
“It is a city that’s been held back by this Liberal government’s policies,” McLean said. “I have to wonder what do Calgarians have to see to understand the Liberal government is not moving this province forward, is not moving this city forward, it’s costing them day by day.”
The Conservatives won by a double-digit margin in Calgary-Nose Hill, Calgary-Shepard, Calgary-Heritage, Calgary-Midnapore, Calgary-Signal Hill, Calgary-East, Calgary-Crowfoot and Calgary-Skyview.
It was also a narrow Tory victory for Dalwinder Gill in Calgary-McKnight, who defeated Liberal incumbent George Chahal.
Chahal was the only Liberal elected in Calgary in the last federal election in the riding of Calgary-Skyview. Had he won, Chahal would’ve been the first Liberal MP to win re-election in Calgary.
