For Poilievre and Lewis, these are byelections worth watching |
OTTAWA—This past weekend, Prime Minister Carney called six byelections for ridings in Quebec, Ontario, and Saskatchewan. Two of the six seats were held by the Conservatives, two by the Liberals, and there was one each for the Bloc Québécois and NDP.
While the outcome of these Dec. 7 votes will not affect the Liberals’ majority, they may cause challenges for the leaders of the Conservative Party and the NDP, respectively. Both Pierre Poilievre and Avi Lewis continue to struggle to get traction with the broad public whose infatuation with the prime minister continues—or so say public opinion polls.
Two of the most interesting ridings to watch of the six that will be contested are Rosemont-La Petite-Patrie in Quebec and Brantford–Brant South in Ontario. Both are opposition-held ridings, and come with enormous symbolism for both the New Democrats and the Conservatives.
