Did on-reserve votes make a decisive difference?
Perhaps so in certain ridings, says a report from the CBC.
In Churchill-Keewatinook Aski, NDP MP Niki Ashton gained about
3,100
votes in on-reserve polling divisions,
while she only picked up
2,525
votes in the riding as a whole. This was enough to hold off Liberal contender,
Rebecca Chartrand.
