Carney's By-Elections: Liberals' Slim Majority Hopes

Prime Minister Mark Carney announces three federal by-elections on April 13, 2026, in Terrebonne, Scarborough Southwest, and University-Rosedale. The Terrebonne race is particularly contentious following a Supreme Court decision to invalidate the initial Liberal win due to an uncounted mail-in ballot. Longtime MP Bill Blair resigned from Scarborough Southwest to serve as Canadas high commissioner to the UK, while Chrystia Freeland stepped down from University-Rosedale to advise the Ukrainian government. A Liberal sweep could secure a slim majority in the House of Commons, altering the political landscape.
