This is the best summary I could come up with:
Progressive Conservative candidate Lin Paddock has won the Baie Verte-Green Bay byelection, handily beating his closest opponent by more than 3,000 votes.
With all 52 polls reporting, Paddock secured 79 per cent of ballots cast — 4,271 votes — according to unofficial results from Elections Newfoundland and Labrador.
The district, formerly known as Baie Verte-Springdale, covers 40 communities in the northern coastal area of central Newfoundland.
Candidate Jim McKenna turned a seat in the House of Assembly from red to blue in the byelection in Fogo Island-Cape Freels in April.
"We need to recruit in areas that love this, places like Germany where they adore the outdoors, not India and Pakistan where they will come here and then go to Toronto," Paddock said during the debate.
In an interview with CBC News days later, he called the comments "poorly worded" and said they weren't meant to be derogatory.
The original article contains 342 words, the summary contains 146 words. Saved 57%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
People angry with imperfection wholeheartedly choose party of elitist cruelty instead, herald in era of their own suffering. Libs owned.
