the liberals lost 10% of the vote in a liberal stronghold. yeah they won but losing that 10% in a liberal dominated riding has to be a concern to them as much as not winning is a concern to the conservatives. That's a pretty big voter swing for a riding in the span of less than a year.

I'm not so sure this is representative of much. The Conservative was a very popular guy, and the mayor of Labrador City I believe. The deceased Liberal MP was extremely popular and well established, and the new Liberal candidate was a relative newcomer.
Interesting, though somewhat off-topic article on the Conservatives nominating 'religious' candidates.
