These five by-elections look like they'll be the most boring ever.

I expect these all to be real sleepers.

A good showing for the NDP in Ottawa-Vanier, but a bad one in Saint Laurent.

Btw, Emilie Taman is a superb candidate. The next Ontario provincial election is. A year away and while the federal Liberals are still relatively popular, the Ontario Liberals most definitely are not. The Ontario Liberals are so unpopular they could be reduced to half a dozen seats. I wonder if Taman could be convinced to run for the Ontario NDP in Ottawa Centre (where she actually lives)

And Vanier would be one of those half dozen seats!

Sault Ste Marie, federally, was one of the only ridings (if not the only?) where an NDP incumbent lost during the big orange wave of Jack Layton that put them into opposition.  Trends, like was mentioned previously, don't really matter here.  I do hear that the NDP candidate is the most well liked.
What is the riding like in terms of demographics, socioeconomic status, etc?

Very working class city.  Large Italian Canadian population.

Honesty I have no clue what'll happen there.  The Soo often defies the general trend.

Sault Ste. Marie is the kind of place that would have swung to Trump big time if it were in the US.

Not as shocking a proposition as you think.  Working class city with large Italian population.
