Reporting from Liberal headquarters in Ottawa

People are smiling from ear to ear here at the Liberal Party headquarters as CBC projects a win for the party.
Supporters cheered even louder when the big screen projected that Mark Carney was leading in his Ottawa riding of Nepean.

For 20-year-old Luka Jovic, who works for the Liberals, this result was unthinkable just four months ago.
"Four months ago it wasn't cool to be a Liberal supporter," Jovic says. Now, the party can claim "the biggest come-back of political history in this country."

I asked him what changed. "Our leader," he says. "Mark Carney has done a fantastic job."
Jovic says that, to him, Carney is a leader who "embodies true Canadian spirit." He notes that the former central banker had a comfortable job in the private sector before plunging into politics.
"He didn't need to do this. But he stepped up at a time when Canada needed it, and that's important."
