[PHOTO] Re-elected, not elected, not elected, not elected, in Davenport (#elxn43)

My neighbourhood of Dovercourt Village, i the federal electoral riding of Davenport, re-elected incumbent Liberal MP Julie Dzerowicz. The bid of NDP candidate Andrew Cash to reclaim the seat he held for four years after the 2011 Orange Wave came to naught. (Alas.)

Their signs--and the signs of other parties--still remain on lawns across my neighbourhood.
