Three candidates asked for recounts in their ridings before the deadline to file yesterday.

The NDP’s Denise Peterson-Rafuse wants a recount in Chester-St. Margaret’s which she lost to Liberal Hugh MacKay by 90 votes.  P-C candidate Dan McNaughton was defeated by Liberal Bill Horne in Waverley-Fall River-Beaverbank by 66 votes.  Another Conservative Rob Wolf wants a recount in Guysborough-Eastern Shore-Tracadie, which was won by Liberal Lloyd Hines.

12 people have been arrested since the terrorist attack in London Saturday night, but no charges have been laid yet against any of them.  They were all arrested in the East End in the neighbourhood where the attackers lived.

Three were shot dead by police after they ran down pedestrians on London Bridge then used knives to slash people  in clubs and a nearby market.

Thousands were at a public vigil for the victims yesterday when London Mayor Sadiq Khan told the crowd the city will never be broken by terrorism.
