OTTAWA — The polls have closed and votes are being counted in two crucial federal byelections that are being closely watched by political parties.
While byelections aren't usually credited with much significance on Parliament Hill, the votes in Winnipeg and Montreal are being treated as bellwethers of the political shifts happening in Canada.
Polls suggest the race is tight between the Liberal candidate and the Bloc Québécois, but the NDP is also hopeful it can win. "At least amongst my peers, there hasn’t been a groundswell of enthusiasm for any of the particular parties," he said. Singh took a political gamble on signing a pact with Trudeau in 2022 to prevent an early election in exchange for progress on NDP priorities.
