Episode notes
Liberal Ground Game In Terrebonne
- Emma Godmere describes Tatiana Auguste door-knocking in a chilly neighbourhood with MPs Madeleine Chenette and Gregor Robertson supporting her campaign.
- The Liberals brought at least 25 MPs and ministers to Terrebonne, signaling heavy effort on the ground.
One Vote Led To A Supreme Court Rerun
- Terrebonne's 2021 result triggered a judicial recount where the Liberals initially won by one vote and an Elections Canada mail-ballot error led the Bloc to challenge the result.
- The case reached the Supreme Court, which ordered a new election and temporarily unseated Tatiana Auguste.
By-Elections Could Convert Minority Into Majority
- The outcome in three by-elections could shift the Liberals from minority to a working majority with committee control and easier passage of legislation.
- Winning all three seats (including two Toronto ridings) would give Liberals 173 seats and greater parliamentary power.
