The Conservative Party of Canada has achieved a significant victory in a special election in central Toronto, defeating Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s Liberal Party in a district that has consistently voted Liberal since 1993. Conservative candidate Don Stewart won 42% of the vote, narrowly surpassing Liberal candidate Leslie Church, who received just over 40%. While this outcome does not alter the balance of power in Ottawa, it is seen as a crucial indicator of Trudeau’s declining popularity.
