Terrebonne riding won by a single vote
Terrebonne riding outside Montreal has finally been adjudged as won by the Liberals by a single vote. It took a count, a recount then a judicial recount to arrive at the final numbers, which leave the Liberals only two seats short of a majority in Parliament.
Later, it’s been claimed that a voter in that riding had her mail‑in vote returned because of an error by Canada Post. And she was voting Bloc! Tuesday morning, this has not yet been resolved.

The middle step is the validation, where they compare the official results written on the results form at the voting location with what was entered into the computer on election night, to check for transcription or communication errors. There is no recount there, so it’s just a count(, validation) and recount. Once the ballot envelopes are sealed on election night, only a judge can open them.
