Byelections may give Liberals a majority; impact on Trump unclear

Prime Minister Mark Carney has announced byelections for April 13 in three ridings, which could give the Liberal Party a one-seat majority in Parliament if they win all three. The seats in Scarborough Southwest and University–Rosedale became vacant due to resignations, while the Terrebonne seat was annulled by the Supreme Court. Although a slim majority may provide some stability, experts suggest it won’t significantly enhance Carney’s leverage in U.S. trade negotiations, particularly with ongoing tensions under President Trump.
