Mississauga-Lakeshore

A Liberal win in a federal byelection in Ontario before the holidays has some Conservatives feeling a little blue — and a little worried about where the NDP's vote went. 

The CPC’s poor showing is all the more striking in light of the current political environment, one that’s dominated by inflation, rising interest rates, and other economic dynamics that should hurt the incumbent party.

Voters cast their ballots in Monday's federal byelection. The swing riding of Mississauga-Lakeshore will be ground zero in the next federal election, writes Andrew Perez.
