* In the riding of Shelburne, the Returning Officer had to cast the tie-breaking vote.
* In the riding of Cape Breton East, New Democrat Cecil Saccary's 5-vote lead, after a judicial recount, became a 5-vote lead for the Liberal's Dave Wilson.  A judge then decided to throw out the results of the general election; a by-election was held several months later to fill the seat.
