Liberals Shut Out in Two By-Elections

Not a good night for the Liberals in two provincial by-elections.

Kathleen Wynne's party was shut out in both Niagara Falls and Thornhill.

The New Democrats took the Niagara Falls Riding, while the Conservatives held onto Thornhill.

Gila Martow won in Thornhill, maintaining the riding for the Progressive Conservatives, while the NDP's Wayne Gates won in Niagara Falls, a riding formerly held by the Liberals.

The results don't change the status of the minority Liberals in the Ontario Legislature and Wynne vowed the losses will not be repeated in a general election, which come as early as this spring.
