## Resource

Prime Minister Mark Carney just triggered a political firestorm by calling three crucial byelections for August 31st in Ontario, British Columbia, and Quebec—vacant seats left by MPs who’ve moved on to new roles. With the Liberals clinging to 172 seats and set to lose one before Parliament returns, winning even one of these races could mean the difference between maintaining power and facing a tighter majority. Tensions are rising after Nate Erskine-Smith, narrowly defeated in a nomination bid by just 19 votes, accused the process of being rigged—though interim Liberal leader firmly defended its fairness. As the clock ticks down, every vote in these three ridings could reshape Canada’s political landscape. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
