Pierre Poilievre’s Conservatives want to ‘destroy’ Bernier

Pierre Poilievre’s Conservatives want to ‘destroy’ this rival — and what else you need to know about Monday’s federal byelections

OTTAWA—At the tail-end of a combative parliamentary session comes four chances to gauge the mood of the Canadian electorate: on Monday, voters in a quartet of federal ridings will cast ballots in byelections to fill vacant seats in the House of Commons.

What might the results tell us, after months in which concerns about Chinese government meddling and increasing costs dominated the political debate before the House is set to rise this month? Each riding has its own dynamic at play, from a battle with the far-right in the Conservative heartland to questions about Liberal enthusiasms in previously rock-solid red regions.

I wish Bernier well.
