In a less partisan, more conciliatory political environment, there would be cross-partisan consensus about the need for a by-election in the Quebec riding of Terrebonne.
It’s not simply that the margin of victory was razor-thin, with the Liberals’ Tatiana Auguste winning the riding by a single vote. Nor is it about the flip-flopping of the result: Terrebonne was first won by Ms. Auguste, then it flipped to the Bloc Québécois’ Nathalie Sinclair-Desgagné after a validation process, then flipped back to Ms. Auguste following a judicial recount.
It’s a big mess.
