Star broadcaster-turned-Conservative candidate Peter Kent found himself in front of the news cameras once again early Wednesday morning, only this time it was as Thornhill’s MP-elect.
The victory — the first by a non-Liberal in the riding’s history — stunned both observers and Liberal incumbent Susan Kadis, who won two years ago by 11,000 votes.
Kent secured the seat by more than 5,000 ballots. (more)
