Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced today that byelections for the ridings of York–Simcoe in Ontario, Outremont in Quebec and Burnaby South in B.C. NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh is hoping voters in B.C. The Burnaby South byelection — vacated by former New Democrat MP Kennedy Stewart, now Vancouver's mayor — will be a crucial test of Singh's leadership. "Every issue you look at which matters to the people of Burnaby South, the options are clear," he said. At a rally on the weekend, Singh accused Trudeau of delaying the byelection, saying the prime minister has left constituents in B.C.
