B.C. byelection held as Trudeau government reels from Freeland's stunning resignation
- LANGLEY, B.C.
- Polls have closed in a federal byelection in British Columbia amid turmoil in Ottawa as Prime Minister Justin Trudeau faces calls to resign after Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland stepped down from cabinet on the day she was to deliver a fall economic statement.
The Conservative Party secured a victory in the Port Moody-Coquitlam byelection in British Columbia, with candidate Carrie Sadler defeating the Liberal candidate, Sara Badiei, by a margin of 1,100 votes. This win marks the third seat gain for the Conservatives in recent byelections, highlighting a shift in voter preference amid ongoing political turmoil in Ottawa. The byelection was necessitated by the resignation of former Liberal MP, Fin Donnelly. The results reflect broader dissatisfaction with the current Liberal government, as noted by Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre, who criticized the Liberals for their handling of economic issues like inflation and housing affordability. Meanwhile, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau acknowledged the loss but emphasized the need to continue working on the issues that matter to Canadians.
