Votes are starting to be counted in the Ottawa-Vanier riding with the Liberals taking a convincing lead. NDP candidate Lyse-Pascale is still hopeful she will be able to close the gap between her and Mona Fortier soon enough. #acelxn44 @algonquintimes @CKDJ1079 pic.twitter.com/0q3LvpaDKO

Nasra is one of the volunteers who has been working for @anitavandenbeld campaign during this election. She really enjoys the fact that Anita has been taking the time to go door-to-door canvassing in her riding and engaging with the residents. @algonquintimes #acelxn44 @CKDJ1079 pic.twitter.com/iMrQn4fhuH
