Don't Quit Your Day Job

Winnipeg breaks the anti-incumbency craze sweeping the nation, returning Sam Katz to office, despite the fact that he kicks children in the face. Going down in defeat is former NDP MP Judy Wasylycia-Leis.

Elsewhere in Manitoba, former Reform/CA/DRC/PC/CPC MP Inky Mark loses by 36 votes in Dauphin.

This leaves Maurizio Bevilacqua the only winner among the three MPs who jumped to municipal politics this fall.


UPDATE: I should add that former Liberal MPs Ken Boshcoff and Joe Fontana won their races on Monday. Though for Boshcoff (defeated in 2008), it was only for a council spot and for Fontana, it was his second attempt at the top job since resigning in 2006.
