Original Toronto Star caption: First Italian-born MP in two decades, Charles Caccia won a huge Liberal victory in Davenport, but had to see it on television before he'd believe it. Then he accepted a victory cigar from campaign worker Victor Sawision. Caccia, 38, came to Canada from Italy 13 years ago and brought his mother over to watch him win. A Toronto alderman, he was strongly supported by Italian community.
