Canadian Voters Oust Incumbent For Conservative Stephen Harper and his Conservative Party defeated the long entrenched Liberal Party in Canadian elections on Monday. A Conservative victory is a striking turn in the country's politics and is likely to improve Canada's strained relations with the Bush administration......From Newyork times.

I am assuming that you're thinking that we have scheduled November elections in Canada like you do in the States. Sorry, but that's not the case. We have elections when the premier or prime minister feels it necessary to re-gain an electoral mandate (which has to happen in no less than five years in most jurisdictions). Federally the last election we had was in January which returned a minority government (meaning the governing party still has the most seats of all the parties, but not fifty percent or more of the seats in Parliament) which was composed of members of the Conservative Party. (It's just a name which doesn't really compare with the American term "conservative") Also in the past year, the province of Nova Scotia and the Yukon territory had elections while in Ontario all levels of local government went up election.

Hope that was the answer you were looking for.

They were all city elections for the Mayor,Aldermen and the School boards so you would have to check out each city to know who the actual winners were.
