What happened: Canada's Liberal government, holding 169 seats, has called three by-elections that could secure a parliamentary majority. The government is currently three seats short of a majority.
Why it matters:
- A majority would give the Liberal government greater control over legislation.
- The outcome affects Canadian voters in the constituencies holding by-elections and the country's political stability.
MNN Take: By-elections offer the government a chance to strengthen its position in parliament, potentially impacting policy decisions and governance.
