Returning Conservative MP Rob Morrison described the excitement Monday night, saying, “[We’re] very energized. I mean over 50 per cent for Columbia-Kootenay-Southern Rockies- that’s huge. The people in this area have really spoken out and they want change and they really like what we’re what we’re trying to do, so I look forward to representing them.”
The Liberal Party candidate also shared a statement on Monday night to congratulate the incumbent. He also acknowledged that Liberal support in their riding tripled this year compared to the 2021 election.
“Tonight’s election results mark a significant victory for Liberal momentum across the region,” wrote Goldbury’s team. “Under Reggie Goldsbury’s leadership, Liberal support in Columbia–Kootenay–Southern Rockies surged by over 300% — a clear testament to the strength, dedication, and energy behind the Canada Strong movement.
Once the official count is posted, Morrison says he’s ready to get to work.
“We want the pipelines […] We also want to repeal the gun legislation of course,” said the incumbent. “And I think the other thing is we want to, we want to have some accountability, we want to have some policy where the government – whoever it is – has to show the books and where the money is being spent.”
Goldsbury will be returning to work with the social investment team at the Ktunaxa Nation Council in the meantime.
