@ehBeth,
our riding went NDP (the guy tried federally and lost, switched to provincial and won), the riding had been held by LIB Bruce Crozier before his retirement (and sudden death 2 days later)
the PC guy came in second (lost by about 1300 votes) and he never showed up to any of the all candidates meeting (including 2 televised and one organized by a local high school who held a mock election)
