Will be updated as more results come in...The race is on to see who will replace King Ralph. Early first ballot results have Jim Dinning in the lead with Ted 'Firewall' Morton in second place. (According to local CTV television coverage, the latest margin between the two at this time is about 150+ votes with over 6000 counted so far in total at 9:25 pm/11:25 pm ET). Ed Stelmach is coming in third but it's not exactly a squeaker as far as he's concerned.
CTV is just giving very quick clips of the results that you miss if you blink, but the numbers are in this range right now:
Dinning 27oo+
Morton 2580+
Stelmach 1800+
I don't like any of these guys but Morton is one of the worst (too far right) of the bunch, afaic. Let's hope he loses.
