Liberals sweep three federal byelections in Canada

politicsSep 1, 202627403

The Liberal Party won all three federal byelections held Monday, taking Beaches, East York in Toronto with Tanveer Shahnawaz, winning North Vancouver, Capilano in British Columbia with Braeden Caley, and flipping Chicoutimi, Le Fjord in Quebec from Conservative hands. The Quebec gain was previously held by Conservative Richard Martel before his Senate appointment this summer, giving the Liberals a net gain of one seat and helping preserve Prime Minister Mark Carney's parliamentary majority. CBC called the trio of wins the Liberals' second byelection hat trick of the year. Braeden Caley framed his North Vancouver victory as a grassroots result, saying the campaign was built "one call, one door and one vote at a time," and Carney congratulated Caley as a former deputy chief of staff he looks forward to working with. CBC noted Liberal vote share slipped from 2025 highs in Beaches, East York and could finish slightly lower in North Vancouver, Capilano, while Conservative vote share declined in the contested ridings and will be a line of questioning for Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre. Six more federal byelections are scheduled in the coming months, offering further tests for all parties.

YES! It has never been easier to inform yourself about candidates & party positions. As for "none of the above" thinking, someone in your riding is going to go to Ottawa as your representative. Don't you want a say in who?

Byelections can feel easy to overlook, but they decide who speaks for those communities in Parliament right now—not someday after the next general election.

US declares they are not at war with anyone unless Trump is hangry.

Need to get these federal and provincial by-elections out of the way so we can focus on the main event: city council races. www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

A proud moment for Canada. 🇨🇦 PM Carney’s message following the Liberals’ three by-election victories is a reminder that political success is ultimately about earning the trust of Canadians—and using that trust to serve our country with humility, determination and purpose. #LeadershipMatters

Canadians are not buying the steaming pile of B.S. Bessent is trying to sell. The Liberals, lead by PM Carney are set to take all 3 by elections. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent: “It's unfortunate he's not doing what's best for the Canadian people.“ #Sheshed enr.elections.ca/ElectoralDis...

You just have to remember that Bessent it’s not any smarter than Trump. He opens his mouth and Trump comes out. It truly is unfortunate for him because he’s being laughed at as much as Trump is.

PM Carney's Liberals have taken all three by-election riding with big wins!

Two of the federal byelections in B.C. and Ontario are considered fairly safe Liberal seats. In Quebec, there could be more bad news on the way for Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre. Here’s a closer look. #cdnpoli

Liberals may well run the table in the three by-elections in Canada tonight. The CPC will definitely lose in Chicoutimi-Le Fjord, which they had held since 2018.
