They're counting votes right now in Parkdale-High Park. The polls have been closed for half an hour and results should soon start coming in. This wasn't your typical by-election. The Liberal party sensed their powerful grip on my riding weakening and wiped some smear on the festivities. Things escalated with sensational press releases unfairly charging NDP candidate Cheri DiNovo with linking Karla Homolka with Jesus Christ. I'm telling you, it's been a thriller here in Parkdale-High Park.
Will the Liberals keep Gerard Kennedy's seat? Will DiNovo and the NDP follow in the footsteps of Peggy Nash and pull off the upset victory? Did Taryn and I back the right horse? All will be told tonight in what I predict will be a photo finish.
Anyone who tells you politics is boring doesn't know what they're talking about.
