‘Tight race, but we can win’: Liberals, Bloc give final push in Terrebonne
The Liberals need one win to reach a 172-seat majority and gain a more stable grip on Parliament, analysts said.
- On Monday, voters will decide three federal by-elections where the Liberals need to win just one seat to reach the 172-seat threshold for a majority government in the 45th Parliament.
- Prime Minister Mark Carney is on the precipice of a majority government after persuading five opposition MPs to cross the floor since November, including Ontario Conservative MP Marilyn Gladu.
- The Liberals are focusing resources on Terrebonne, Que., which they won by a single vote last year before courts nullified the result, while two Toronto-area ridings remain safe strongholds.
- Pollster Nik Nanos reports a 13-point Liberal advantage over the Conservatives, though analyst Philippe Fournier warns that losing Terrebonne to the Bloc Quebecois would signal the party is "not so invincible."
- Addressing the party's biennial convention in Montreal on Saturday, Carney warned Liberals they "should be under no illusions" because "the path we've chosen is hard," emphasizing pragmatic unity ahead.
