With a wave of Tory blue washing across the province, Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke voters stayed the course with the Ontario PC Party on Thursday.
Incumbent John Yakabuski took the riding once again in a landslide with nearly 70% of the vote. This will be Yakabuski’s fifth consecutive term at Queen’s Park. The son of local former MPP Paul Yakabuski, who served Renfrew South for nearly 25 years, John Yakabuski was first elected in 2003 with his win flipping the riding from Liberal red to Conservative blue.
Trailing behind was NDP candidate Ethel LaValley, a former Whitney-area mayor, a member of the Algonquins of Pikwakanagan, and a labour activist who had about 20% of the vote.
Liberal candidate Jackie Agnew, a municipal councillor since 2014 in Bonnechere Valley Township, had about 10% of the vote in her first provincial campaign.
R-N-P was traditionally a Liberal stronghold both federally and provincially throughout the 1970s and ’80s but a growing agricultural and religious base has turned this into one of the most conservative areas in Ontario. The riding covers 12,385 sq. km and is home to 103,495 people.
