RE:Pirie won...Pirie kicked butt too.

"The loss of long-time incumbent in Timmins was perhaps the biggest surprise in northeastern Ontario on election night.
What was most surprising wasn't that outgoing Timmins mayor George Pirie beat New Democrat Gilles Bisson -- it was the margin of victory.
With all of the votes counted, Pirie, a Progressive Conservative, won by 5,155 votes – or 64.93 per cent. Bisson, who was first elected in 1990, garnered 4,295 votes, or 29.51 per cent."
