Canadian voters tend not to pay much attention to the local candidate.
Your humble e-scribbler made the point earlier on Thursday in a lengthy post.
And just for good measure, the Globe and Mail’s Jane Taber drops a little note on research done by one consulting firm right after the Monday election. The conclusion:
“Participants told us they see this as proof that Canadians voted based on parties and leaders rather than their local candidate,” Ensight’s Jacquie LaRocque told The Globe. “Hardly a single participant across the entire country told us they voted for their local candidate.”

I do not think that would be the case in Labrador, matter of fact I am sure it was not the case.
Then MSM and main stream anything tends to ignore Aboriginal issues and nuances.
Case in point the early call on the result in Labrador, it's not over until the votes are in from Innu communities, or the fat lady sings, whichever come first.
Further case in point is this article on the OBL death.
