   > Long-held Ontario Liberal ridings go to polls in Thursday byelections   
   >    
   > Voting day is Feb. 27 in neighbouring Ottawa-Vanier and Orléans

   >    
   > Voters in Ottawa–Vanier and Orléans will go to the polls Thursday to   
   determine the fate of two of the seven seats the Liberals kept when they were   
   routed in the 2018 provincial election.   
   >    
   > Ottawa–Vanier NDP candidate Myriam Djilane acknowledges the ridings are   
   Liberal strongholds, with candidates winning by thousands of votes last time   
   even as the party's support imploded.   
   >    
   > "Fortresses always crumble eventually," Djilane said at a news conference   
   Tuesday.   
   >    
   > She said the entire Ontario NDP caucus, federal leader Jagmeet Singh and   
   several MPs have helped canvass both ridings during the byelection campaign.   
   >    
   > "It's very clear from talking to residents of Ottawa–Vanier — and I'm   
   sure Orléans as well — that people are really tired of being taken for   
   granted and want to make sure their votes are counted."

   > On Monday, Elections Ontario reported that 4,822 ballots had been cast in

   >    
   > In Ottawa–Vanier, the preliminary results for advanced polls were   
   similarly low — 2.47 per cent of registered voters, or 2,502 people cast   
   their ballots.   
   >    
   > The polls will be open from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. on Feb. 27.
