These are the races that are still too close to call in B.C.
Canada's 45th federal election yielded a Liberal minority government, just like the 44th and 43rd elections before it.
But while the high-level outcome has been decided, the exact seat totals each party will hold in the House of Commons remains to be seen.
As of 11:40 p.m., CTV News has declared winners in 35 of British Columbia's 43 federal electoral districts.
The remaining eight ridings were considered too close to call, whether because a large number of votes were still outstanding or the margin between the top two candidates was exceedingly close.
The eight uncalled ridings were, from smallest margin to largest:
Kelowna
Vancouver Kingsway
New Westminster—Burnaby—Maillardville
Cloverdale—Langley City
Fleetwood—Port Kells
Burnaby Central
Surrey Newton
Skeena—Bulkley Valley
The margins in Kelowna and Vancouver Kingsway were less than one percentage point.
In Kelowna, Liberal candidate Stephen Fuhr led Conservative incumbent Tracy Gray by 0.12 per cent, or just 66 votes.
In Vancouver Kingsway, longtime New Democrat MP held a lead of 0.6 per cent – or 275 votes – over Liberal Amy Gill.
The next-closest race saw the top two vote-getters separated by just 1.5 percentage points, with Conservative Indy Panchi leading Liberal Jake Sawatzky in the New Westminster riding previously held by New Democrat Peter Julian, who looked set to finish third this year.
The other five ridings had margins of 2 percentage points or more.

Rodriguez, who had been considered the front-runner in the contest over the last weeks, won the leadership with 195,473 points or 52.3 per cent of the vote. Milliard was not far behind, earning 178,527 points or 47.7 per cent of the vote. Rodriguez succeeds leader Dominique Anglade, who resigned in 2022 after delivering the worst electoral score in the history of the party. Rodriguez becomes the 15th full-time leader of the 157-year-old political party. The last time the Liberals elected a leader was in March 2013 when Philippe Couillard defeated two opponents, winning the vote with 58.5 per cent of the vote on the first ballot.

To the surprise of many, former Roberval MNA and party veteran Karl Blackburn did not survive beyond the first ballot. He placed third with 103,265 points or 27.6 per cent. Milliard beat him narrowly with 107,345 points or 28.7 per cent, allowing him to face Rodriguez in a final round. Rodriguez got 145,878 points or 39 per cent of the vote, not enough to win on a first ballot. The other two candidates in the race, Marc Bélanger, a Matane lawyer specializing in tax law, and Mario Roy, a Beauce farmer and economist, also failed to get over the first ballot vote and were dropped. Bélanger got 14,659 points or 3.9 per cent of the vote. Roy got 2,853 points or 0.8 per cent of the vote. Your noon-hour look at what's happening in Toronto and beyond.

Under the election regulations, only the top two candidates, Rodriguez and Milliard, were left on the ballot for the final tabulation of votes. It was based on the Liberal members' second and third candidate preferences. The party opted for a preferential two-round voting system, which made predicting the results very difficult. Each of Quebec's 125 ridings had the same clout in the vote with each assigned 3,000 points. Of the total, 1,000 points were reserved for youth members. To win, a candidate needed a majority of the 375,000 points. Failing to do so would spark a second round of counting, but the three candidates with the lowest scores were dropped off. But the wait for the second ballot to be tabulated, which was supposed to be 15 minutes, dragged on longer than planned with delegates taking turns cheering for their candidates. This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. The vote came at the end of a one-day leadership convention held at the Centre des congrès in Quebec City. The race was between five candidates. About 750 Liberals were in attendance. While most Liberals had voted by phone or internet, some waited because they wanted to cast their ballots in person at the convention. Each of the candidates were thus given time to make a last pitch for their support in morning speeches. First up was Roy, who, during the last of the debates, announced he would not rally to the winner regardless of who it was. On Saturday, his tone had changed and he thanked each of them by name. Candidate Bélanger called upon his two sons to address the crowd about their dreams for a better future. The three top contenders, Rodriguez, Blackburn and Milliard, pulled out all the stops, each opening their speeches with slick videos and loud cheerings from supporters wearing scarves and waving signs.

Rodriguez repeated that he left federal politics because he was worried about the future of Quebec. He said it is 'fundamental' that a premier govern for all Quebecers. 'We deserve more than a premier who divides to conquer,' Rodriguez said. 'No matter your name, your religion or where you come from, this is your home. This is your home because a Quebecer is a Quebecer is a Quebecer.' 'I am not promising miracles,' Milliard said. 'I am not a magician. But I can promise you one thing. I will fight with you and for you all the way. We have to beat the CAQ and block the PQ, but above all we have to start dreaming again in Quebec.'

'I want to be able to bring all Quebecers together,' he said in English. 'When we work together we are stronger than ever.' On hand to witness the event were former leaders Daniel Johnson, Jean Charest, Couillard and Anglade. But the focus of the day was on electing the leader. As of Friday evening, with about 60 per cent of votes cast, the handlers of the five candidates said they had no idea how the vote would go Saturday. The convention vote caps a very long leadership race that formally lasted six months but informally has been underway for nearly three years. Having lost to the CAQ in 2018 and 2022 and faced with four long years in opposition, the Liberals took a go-slow approach to finding a new leader.

For a time there was speculation no candidates would want to step up and run given the moribund state of the party, which was reduced to 20 MNAs in the election and currently has 19 seats mostly in the Montreal area. The Liberals in 2022 earned less than 15 per cent of the vote. The party, nevertheless, formed the official opposition, which means it has a larger operating budget and gets to ask most of the questions to the government in the legislature. It also launched a detailed overhaul of its policies, which the new leader may or may not choose to implement. The biggest problem the Liberals face is that they remain on the outs with francophone voters in the regions. Rebuilding that trust becomes the first task of the new leader. In the last Léger poll published May 14 in the Journal de Montréal, the Liberals were polling at 10 per cent among francophones alone. This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. The PQ had the support of 42 per cent of francophones while the CAQ had 23 per cent. The overall standings placed the PQ first in voter intentions with 33 per cent of the vote, followed by the Liberals with 21 per cent and the CAQ 20 per cent. The Quebec Conservatives had 13 per cent, and Quebec solidaire had 10 per cent. On the bright side for all the opposition parties, the same poll revealed 63 per cent of Quebecers want a change of government. The poll also showed support for the Liberals would soar to 31 per cent under the leadership of Rodriguez. Under Blackburn, Liberal support would be 25 per cent and 21 per cent with Milliard at the helm. The Léger poll was conducted from May 9-11 and is based on the opinions of 1,051 persons 18 years and over. This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. The legislature resumes sitting Sept. 16, but for now the new leader does not have a seat and will have to name an MNA as interim opposition parliamentary party leader. That job has belonged to Marc Tanguay since Anglade left. Some Liberals think that there is no rush for the leader to get a seat. Since the Liberals have seats in the legislature, they are still allowed to invite in their leader so he can hold news conferences to comment on the events of the day. There is one seat currently vacant, Arthabaska, in central Quebec but it is not a good fit for the Liberals, which have not elected anyone there since 2008. The PQ, Conservatives and Québec solidaire have already named their candidates. The race is expected to be between PQ candidate Alex Boissonneault and Conservative Éric Duhaime, who is the party leader and trying to get a seat in the house for a second time. The premier has until September to call the byelection. This report will be updated. World Sunshine Girls Golf Columnists Sunshine Girls
