The Numbers: Trudeau's next byelection test

Byelection calls loom in LaSalle–Émard–Verdun and Elmwood–Transcona.

A byelection call looms in LaSalle–Émard–Verdun in a contest that could prove a stiff test for the Liberals, as the NDP and Bloc target what has been a safe Liberal seat in Montreal. Plus, another call could come in the Winnipeg riding of Elmwood–Transcona, where the Conservatives will put the NDP on the defensive.

(Note: the Liberals announced their candidate for Elmwood–Transcona shortly after we recorded.)

This week, we also chat about the announcements from Seamus O'Regan and Francis Drouin that they won't be running for re-election and answer listener questions from the mailbag — and provide a Margin of Error 101 refresher course. Then, Philippe tests me with a Quiz.
