The Conservatives have narrowly snatched the Toronto-St. Paul's seat from the Liberals, in a huge political upset that is expected to intensify political pressure on Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.
Candidate Don Stewart won the closely watched by-election by a little more than 500 votes.
Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre described Mr. Stewart's win as a shocking upset, saying locals voted to cut tax, build homes, fix the budget and stop the crime.
Canadian political experts have described the loss as a shocking embarrassment to Mr. Trudeau and his party, as the electoral district was considered a Liberal stronghold - the party had held it for 30 years.
