The Canadian Press  25/06/2024 09:53 Hours after Canadians went to bed disappointed by a Stanley Cup loss Monday night, the Conservatives scored a stunning byelection upset to win in the longtime Liberal stronghold of Toronto-St. Paul’s. Conservative candidate Don Stewart eked out the win by just 590 votes over Liberal Leslie Church in an early morning upset, yanking away a riding the governing Liberals have held for more than 30 years. Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre demanded the prime minister call a snap election after what he described as a “shocking upset” on social media Tuesday morning. “Here is the verdict: Trudeau can’t go on like this. He must call a carbon tax election now,” Poilievre said on X. Stewart trailed Church for hours overnight as poll workers slowly counted ballots
