After a whole lot of waiting, Liberal Anthony Germain wins Terra Nova-The Peninsulas -- by just 12 votes
CBC story
https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/newfoundland-labrador/terra-nova-result-1.7521466
More than 20 hours after the polls closed in Newfoundland and Labrador, ballot counting for the neck-to-neck race for Terra Nova-The Peninsulas has come to an end, projecting Liberal Anthony Germain as the winner.
Germain, a former teacher and longtime CBC broadcaster, defeated Conservative candidate Jonathan Rowe by 12 votes — the closest margin of victory of any riding race in Canada.
Although the Conservatives led by a hair for most of election night, it was a toss-up by the time Elections Canada paused its count early Tuesday morning.
