Trudeau Liberals face ruin in upcoming byelections
If they lose Quebec riding, it could spell disaster for the future of the party
Now the Liberals are gearing up for another pair of byelections, in the Quebec riding of LaSalle—Emard—Verdun and the Manitoba riding of Elmwood—Transcona, both to be held Sept. 16. The first contest appears to be a three-way split between the Liberals, the Bloc Québécois and the NDP, while the second pits the NDP against the Tories. The results could thus be pivotal not only for the Liberals, but for the opposition parties as well.
