Voter turnout was low which is concerning at 22.5% as well.

That riding has been blue since the Chrétien Liberals though and prior to that rarely Liberal. It’s a byelection, and while I think Trudeau and the Liberals have a huge issue, this means almost nothing.
But I don’t know what it is with these people staying on far past their best before date. Between Trudeau here and Biden in the US, it’s just weird to me that the parties allow them to cling to power despite growing unpopularity. It’s one thing the Conservatives haven’t done (in Canada) recently; they have leaders who seem unpopular and they got taken out of the position quickly.
