The reporting
Prime Minister Mark Carney’s Liberals won all three Aug. 31 federal byelections, restoring the government’s majority after MP resignations had briefly reduced it. The party carried Chicoutimi-Le Fjord in Quebec, Beaches-East York in Toronto and North Vancouver-Capilano in British Columbia, topping 50% in each. In Chicoutimi-Le Fjord, Liberal Daniel Gobeil won 51.3%, flipping a Conservative seat as Bloc Québécois candidate Caroline Dubé took 32.9% and Conservative Régis Gaudreault 12.5%. Carney said Sept. 1 the results showed support for his government’s plan amid trade tensions with the United States.
