The political stakes are high in the six federal byelections scheduled for December 7. Mark Carney’s majority will survive intact regardless of the outcome, but his Liberal Party is looking to make gains at the expense of the Conservatives, New Democrats and Bloc Québécois, putting the other three leaders on the defensive — especially Pierre Poilievre, as his party’s polling and fundraising numbers continue to slump.
This week on The Numbers, we dissect the contests in all six byelections. We also take a look at new fundraising figures that show the Liberals ahead of the Conservatives for the first time in years, as well as the latest polls. Plus, The Quiz is back!
