Conservatives leading in a PEI riding...

Egmont?  What about that one Quebec riding that usually reports early?

Gaspésie-Îles-de-la-Madeleine, if I remember correctly from 2006.

I wonder what would make Egmont vote for the Conservatives anyways? Isn't PEI pretty liberal?

PEI tends to go Liberal recently, but there seems to be a shift to the party in power after a government stays in power a few elections.  They've voted for the old Tories (Progressive Conservatives) in the past.

The Conservatives end up with 143 seats. They just were nosed out by 62 votes or something in a BC riding, and are not in the hunt for the remaining four seats out.

That was Keith Martin's riding (Esquimalt-Juan La Fuca).  Martin is a Liberal, but small c conservative/libertarian who was behind the push to rid Canada's human rights commissions of their ability to squelch free speech.  So that Liberal win might be considered a conservative win, too.
