The Liberal Party of Canada is in dire straits. The loss of Toronto-St. Paul’s in a byelection is more than a setback for the party. It is a catastrophe. Toronto-St. Paul’s isn’t a bellwether seat that could swing either way with the political winds. It was one of the safest Liberal seats in Canada and had been in their possession for more than 30 years.
If Liberal MPs weren’t already in a panic before, they certainly are now. If Toronto-St. Paul’s can fall to the Conservative Party of Canada, any seat can.
