My Octopus Teacher

Liberal candidate and former two-term Lethbridge mayor Chris Spearman fought a good fight in yesterday’s federal election, but Conservative candidate Rachael Thomas’ stronghold on southern Alberta continues for another four years.  

We are heading back to a Liberal government this morning with Prime Minister Mark Carney holding on to the title that fell to him following Justin Trudeau’s resignation.

Rachael Thomas has again received the nod from Lethbridge residents to be their representative in Ottawa. 

It is a blue wave across Southern Alberta with local Conservative candidates being elected to the House of Commons. 

The counting has been well underway in the rest of Canada east of the Pacific time zone.
