That was very much the platform I ran and I think our community very much reflected those aspirations and those needs," said Damoff. Triantafilopoulos, who was about to head over to Damoff's party to congratulate her, added she appreciates the support she received from the community. "I talked to many people at their doors and it's a wonderful community in both Oakville and Burlington," she said. Earlier in the night, as the Liberals headed towards a majority, Green Party candidate Adnan Shahbaz said he was happy with the direction the election results were moving in. "I'm excited that Canada is moving away from politics of fear and division," he said. With Damoff ahead in the polls, Shahbaz noted she would be a great voice for the community and he wishes her all the best. Shortly after, Libertarian candidate David Clement told the Oakville Beaver in a phone interview the local race was reflective of the national race between the Liberal and Conservative parties. "I think Canadian voters have showed now that the Conservative approach isn't what they're looking for and I think that runs through, whether economically or socially," he said, noting the Conservative record with regards to the economy and Bill C-51 and the niqab didn't work in the party's favour. Clement added it's been a great race and a rewarding experience for him. NDP candidate Janice Best could not be reached for comment.
