Liberals set to win all three seats in byelection

Looks like it's locked up for the Liberals in Chicoutimi—Le Fjord, which we'd thought would be a tight race but it has turned into a romp for the Liberals, who are at nearly 50% of the vote.

This is a very bad result for the CPC, who had held this riding since 2018 and won it with 34% of the vote last election but have shed 20%+ of their vote tonight, largely to the LPC

Running in third in 2 races with less than 20% support? 13.6% in Quebec riding? Holy collapse.

Scott Reid: "A year and a half ago, Conservatives said, you know what, we can replay the next election. This is a victory delayed, not denied. And so we can just hold our spot. We can stand still. We can retain this vote. And then we can win the next election. That strategy looks to be in ash tonight."
