Supreme Court nullifies Liberal MP’s election win by a single vote in Montreal-area riding

The Supreme Court of Canada annulled the results of a closely contested riding from last spring’s election on Friday.

The Montreal-area riding of Terrebonne was initially declared for the Bloc Québécois until a judicial recount found the Liberals had won the seat by one vote.

But Nathalie Sinclair-Desgagné, the Bloc candidate, called on the courts to annul the results and call a new election after CBC News reported that a voter had their mail-in ballot returned to them due to a misprint on the return envelope.


The CBC can’t seem to bring itself to say that the Liberal is tossed and a byelection will now have to take place.
