"The byelection in Quebec is the result of a rare judicial annulment. Following four floor-crossings that increased the number of Liberal seats in the House of Commons to 170, the party has the chance to form a thin majority should it secure at least two of the three ridings."
"The Liberals won both Toronto ridings handily in last year's election. Blair and Freeland had won Scarborough Southwest and University-Rosedale, respectively, in every federal election since 2015."
"The NDP's candidates, Fatima Shaban and Serena Purdy, also ran in the ridings in the 2025 election. The Green Party is running Pooja Malhotra in Scarborough Southwest and Andrew Massey in University-Rosedale."
Advance polls in Toronto and Quebec byelections close at 9 p.m. Monday. These elections could enable the Liberal Party to secure a federal majority. The byelections are in University-Rosedale, Scarborough Southwest, and Terrebonne. Candidates include Dr. Danielle Martin and Doly Begum for the Liberals, with NDP candidates Fatima Shaban and Serena Purdy. The Conservatives are represented by Don Hodgson and Diana Filipova. The Green Party candidates are Pooja Malhotra and Andrew Massey. The Liberals aim to win at least two of the three ridings.
