Prime Minister Mark Carney's Liberal Party swept three federal byelections in Ontario, Quebec, and British Columbia, capturing over 50 per cent of the vote in each riding. The victories include Daniel Gobeil's win in Chicoutimi-Le Fjord, signaling public support for the government's approach to supply management and trade negotiations with the United States. Six additional federal byelections are pending following recent MP resignations, including former cabinet minister Steven Guilbeault and Conservative Larry Brock, which must be called by December 19, 2026.
