The Ontario election may have been a close contest between the Tories and the NDP at the provincial level, but in Leeds-Grenville-Thousand Islands and Rideau Lakes, Tory incumbent Steve Clark barely needed to break a sweat.
The Progressive Conservative candidate and local MPP since 2010 easily won re-election in the newly rechristened riding, besting New Democrat challenger Michelle Taylor, Liberal challenger David Henderspon and Green Party standard-bearer Derek Morley.
The Libertarian Party’s Bill Buckley, whose name was on the ballot despite the lack of any visible campaign, came in a distant fifth.
At a raucous victory party held at Brockville’s Boston Pizza restaurant, supporters cheered loudly as early results clearly pointed to a Tory victory.
Clark had yet to join the party at this newspaper’s deadline.

Prescott Mayor Brett Todd was among the many local politicians in the crowd. He said the Tory victory will bring welcome change to Queen’s Park.
“I’m very happy for Steve,” said Todd.
“Steve deserves a seat in government.”
For retired senator Bob Runciman, who served as a cabinet minister in the Mike Harris government, the evening brought back memories of Harris’s first victory in 1995, another time when the PCs were returned to power after a political eternity in the wilderness of Opposition.
Runciman felt a similar energy.
“People sense that. That’s why you have a big crowd,” said Runciman.
“There’s a real sense of elation.”
