Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has suffered another devastating byelection blow with the loss of a second Liberal stronghold, this one to the Bloc Québécois in LaSalle—Émard—Verdun.
While byelections aren't usually credited with much significance on Parliament Hill, the votes in Winnipeg and Montreal were viewed as bellwethers of the political shifts happening in Canada. "We are here and we work hard because we believe in the interests of Quebec and we believe in independence," the Bloc candidate Louis-Philippe Sauvé said before the final votes were counted.
"Seeing tonight that it is a tight race, in itself for us, it’s a win. And it shows that there is support for what the Bloc does and the issues that we’re bringing to the House of Commons." He opted to vote for no one, to make a point about “a lack of confidence in the political establishment in Canada."
