The actor tumed politician pulled off the three-peat, once again winning the lion's share of votes in Halton and remaining firrnly entrenched aa the nding's MP. While early resulîs strongly suggested a convincing victory, the 64-year-old Norval resident kept his emotions well guarded until local NDP flag bearer Brenda Dolling dropped by his Main Street cam paign office to offer congratulations. At that point t was nearing Il p.m. and both media and supporters were becoming anxious for Mr. Reed to recognize his win. So in keeping with past days spent on stage and screen, he gave the audience what they wanted. "This b very satisfying. The people of Halton have been very good 10 me, I just hope I can live up b their expeclations," said Mr. Reed, who took aIl but onc of 1hz tirst îwo dozen polIs showing auJ won many by more than twiLe Ihal ol 1hz Alliance Partys Tim Dobson and Progressive Conservative Tom Kilmer. About the only difference once the polis closed lasi night - compared 10 the coun- trys 1997 eleclion - proved to be a favourable one for Reed' s Liberals. The party made signiticant headway in previously Liberal unfriendly Atlantie Canada - which, according 10 campaign manager John Day, was a good omen for the night ahead. Said the Georgebown regional council- lor, "This speaka well to a majority (gov- emment) in Canada. At this stage, il bodes well." Mr. Day gave high praise so the more than 100 volunteers who helped retum Mr. Reed 10 Ottawa. The incumbent was equally apprecia- "This is very satisfying. The people of Halton have been very good tome, Ijust hope I can live up to their expectations." - - tive, statng, "It (support) was a littie slow with the municipal election, but it was there when we needed it and the phone gang was fabulous today (Monday). "Elections are flot won by one person. but a dedicated group of people. l'm juat the medium aI the present lime." Taking an overview of the first few dozen polIs, Mr. Reed said he was some- what surprised by the support for Mr. Dobson, explaining that door-to-door catI- ing indicated "a lot ol people were worricd abouLthe Alliance."
