The CBC projects that the Liberals have won the University-Rosedale by-election, and therefore Mark Carney has a majority. Two by-elections from today are yet to be called.
Adding to this — there’s three by-elections on Monday. Two are historically safe Liberal seats and one is a toss-up BQ/Liberal race. 172 is a razor-thin majority that protects the government on confidence votes. But 173 grants more control over committees and the legislative agenda.
