Gerrymandering. Period.

Liberals easily have their majority....

but notice the drop in the CPC vote in all 3 seats compared to 2025.

Also notice the rise in the NDP vote in the TO seats. Very rare for the NDP to do well in by-elections where they don't have a chance of winning.

lol....Terrebonne is a one vote margin again

Polls closed in the 3 by-elections, Liberals need to win only 1 for a majority.

it's...not even the most well-known Surrey in the world?

meanwhile in Hungary, Orban gets decisively trounced.

Christine Fréchette wins the CAQ leadership race with 57% of the vote over Bernard Drainville.

ANOTHER Conservative MP has crossed the floor to the Liberals. Marilyn Gladu, who represents Sarnia. This...is an interesting one.

The Good, the Bad and the Ugly: Alberta's new electoral map will be a fight Divided boundaries commission gives us a level-headed majority report and drastically different minority report

I grew up in the capital of the only bilingual province. I can assure you it's bad here too.

If NDP is serious about reining in big tech, they should be making more use of decentralized platforms. I’d wager a non-trivial amount of their voters are on Bluesky exclusively. 🙋‍♀️

Look I appreciate that this family has a long history in Canadian progressive politics but to me they'll always be the Lewises of "Jenny Lewis, casting director for Heated Rivalry" fame.

The Alberta Party has renamed itself the Progressive Tory Party. Their previous attempts to rename as the Progressive Conservative Party were blocked in the courts by the UCP, which then amended Alberta’s election laws to block any other party from using the word “conservative” in their name.

One year from now, if we’re in the leadup to a Quebec independence referendum, this news today of minimal interest outside Quebec might wind up being a consequential development in Canadian history.

Dimitri Soudas, former Harper comms guy, told RadCan this morning that he's hearing Conservative MP Matt Jeneroux will cross the floor to the Liberals today.

If this happens, the Liberals are one seat short of a majority. You know what that means.

That's right.
