Justin
Trudeau emerged the big winner from Monday’s four federal
by-elections.
At
first glance, the results simply preserved the status quo: the
Conservatives held on to two longtime Tory bastions in Manitoba,
while the Liberals retained two traditional Grit strongholds in
Toronto and Montreal.
Beneath
the surface, however, the byelections have roiled Canada’s
political waters, suggesting the Senate expenses scandal has badly
hurt the Tory government and that Trudeau’s Liberals are the ones
who stand to benefit.
The
Liberals increased their share of the vote in all four ridings —
dramatically so in two Manitoba ridings where they were all but
invisible in the 2011 election, coming within a whisker of an upset
victory in Brandon-Souris.
In
Toronto Centre and Montreal’s Bourassa riding, the Liberals emerged
victorious in a battle with the NDP over which opposition party is
the real government-in-waiting. Despite an aggressive challenge by
the NDP, the Liberal vote share increased slightly in both ridings.
