For discussion of all Canadian by-elections (federal and provincial) in 2019. In the interest of clarity they should be in a separate thread and not in the one for 2018.

Ottawa city council votes to hold a by-election in Rideau-Rockcliffe Ward (for April 15) to fill the vacancy of outgoing councillor Tobi Nussbaum, who has been appointed as the CEO of the National Capital Commission.

Nussbaum was a centre-left Liberal, who first won the seat in 2014, defeating former regional chair Peter Clark, a conservative who had only won in 2010 due to a massive vote split with 26% of the vote.

The ward is one of the city's "urban" wards, so it could be won by a progressive, though it typically votes Liberal on a provincial and federal level. It includes the very wealthy Rockcliffe Park neighbourhood, but it doesn't have a very large population.

I know it was discussed in the other forum, but today is Nanaimo by-election in BC.  This could be critical since if the NDP hold it, then they will likely last through this year, but if the BC Liberals pick it up possibility of a spring election.  Greens have already warned if NDP loses this, they will withdraw support although Weaver has made threats before only to pull back.  Notwithstanding Mainstreet's poll, I still think the NDP has a slight edge based on the history of the riding.  But the BC Liberals could pull off an upset for two reasons:

1.  By-elections typically tend to have low turnouts and those angry at the government are more motivated to show up than those happy with the job they are doing.
2.  By-elections skew heavily towards older voters who most polls show BC Liberals on a provincewide basis are leading while younger voters where NDP has a strong lead tend to be less likely to show up in by-elections as opposed to general elections.

I think if this were a general election, I am pretty sure it would go NDP as by-elections take on different dynamics and although the NDP has angered some, they haven't had any major screw ups and most who strongly dislike them probably never voted NDP to begin with and never would.  Amongst the 40% who voted for them in May 2017, I get the impression most of them are pretty happy with how they've governed, while most of the 40% who voted BC Liberal are not and Greens are a mix.

Had John Turmel run in the Nanaimo byelection, he would have won. Sad

Looks like much of the green support tactically voted NDP.
