Prime Minister Mark Carney has called byelections in the Toronto ridings of University-Rosedale and Scarborough Southwest and the Quebec riding of Terrebonne — races the Liberals will want to win to secure a thin majority government.
The byelections will be held on April 13, according to a news release posted on the prime minister’s website Sunday morning.
I’m a little surprised that he didn’t make the by-election period a little longer, but I’m not sure it will make a difference.
They’re riding high in the polls, so it makes strategic sense to get it done ASAP.
