Canada’s governing Liberal party will learn just how unpopular it is – or if a unprecedented political turnaround is possible – as voters near Vancouver head to the polls in a byelection rife with plot twists and backstabbing.
The electoral district of Cloverdale–Langley City in British Columbia is up for grabs on Monday after Liberal John Aldag resigned earlier this year for an unsuccessful run in provincial politics.
Among those contesting the seat is former MP Tamara Jansen, who held it from 2019 until 2021. Jansen is hoping to capitalize on fatigue with the Liberals and a significant shift towards the Tories. The Liberals have already lost two political strongholds this year.
