Prime Minister Mark Carney has scheduled three crucial byelections for April 13, affecting the Ontario ridings of Scarborough Southwest and University-Rosedale, as well as the Quebec riding of Terrebonne. The outcome of these byelections is significant for the Liberal Party, which may gain a tighter grip on a slim majority if they perform well in these traditional strongholds. The move comes in the wake of the resignation of two prominent ministers: Bill Blair, who has taken a diplomatic position, and Chrystia Freeland, who has stepped down to take on an advisory role for the Ukrainian President and a new leadership position at the Rhodes Trust.
