The official announcement.
Key dates:
• The date of the by-election must be announced between February 27 and August 15, 2026. This announcement signals the start of the by-election period.
• The by-election must be held on a Monday, at least 36 days but no more than 50 days after the day the by-election is announced. Therefore, the earliest date that the Terrebonne by-election can be held is Monday, April 6, 2026.
Personally, I think that they should try and recruit a heavy-hitter from the area, but that could cause a backlash by the Haitian community. So a better strategy could be to make sure that they turn out to vote.
This will be an interesting race. Terrebonne is the only 2015 Bloc-> 2025 Liberal riding, which reflects its history as a seperatist stronghold that has slowly been absorbed into Montreal’s orbit. Like, the BQ/PQ used to win over 70% here, which is their highest support outside of Saguenay. I think the riding’s baseline support is too Bloc favourable though, and they’ll likely win it back by a couple of points in the byelection. But give it another decade, and it’ll be a reliable Liberal seat, given these type of trends.
