Here are the election results for Toronto and ridings too close to call
Election results show another red wave swept across Toronto last night, with Justin Trudeau's Liberal Party picking up practically all ridings in the city during Canada's 44th general election, on the way to winning a minority government.
Like the 2015 and 2019 elections, Toronto electoral maps are looking almost all red once again, though there are a few ridings in the city where the race is the Liberals' to lose.
The NDP has once again come out swinging in the city centre, trying to break through the grasp that the Liberal Party has held in Toronto since 2015. In most races, the NDP came up short, but three ridings are still too close to call.
And when we say close, we mean it.
As of 8:30 a.m., Liberal incumbent Julie Dzerowicz is ahead of NDP challenger Alejandra Bravo by less than 350 votes and exactly one per cent of votes. Three of the riding's 182 polls have yet to be counted, along with mail-in ballots, meaning this race could still go either way.
This is the closest race in Toronto right now, and the most likely seat for the NDP to flip as the final votes are tallied.
My riding of Davenport is a hotly contested nail biter with less than 100 votes between the NDP and incumbent Liberal candidates right now, and I cannot sleep. #Election2021 #Davenport pic.twitter.com/k6tnMnKoqN

It was a very close race into the wee hours of the morning, but Liberal candidate Kevin Vuong seems to have pulled away from the NDP's Norm Di Pasquale as the morning progressed. By 8:30 a.m., Vuong held an over 1,300 vote lead over Di Pasquale.
The race in this riding hasn't been without controversy, as Vuong had paused his campaign after past allegations of sexual assault came to light.
Only one of the riding's 129 polls has yet to report, though mail-ins could still be a big factor in this riding.
This was another close one into the overnight hours, but the red votes are piling up this morning, with Liberal incumbent Arif Virani leading NDP candidate Paul Taylor by over 1,200 votes as of 8:30 a.m., for a lead of five per cent.
Only 180 of the riding's 195 polls have reported in, and mail-in ballots have not been counted yet, so there's still plenty of room for this race to either swing in the NDP's favour or further bolster the Liberals' dominance in Toronto.
It's not over in Parkdale - High Park. @PaulTaylorTO trails by a fraction and the mail-in ballots haven't been counted. Given that everyone smart voted early, I'm still holding out for a Paul win!

Even though it is already clear that the Liberals still have a devoted base in Toronto, we won't have a full picture of election results for a few days due to the massive spike in mail-in ballots compared to previous elections.
