Byelections: Canadian Voters

Byelections Dept: Canadian voters in three different provinces -- Ontario, Alberta, and B.C. -- will head to the polls Monday to take part in three federal byelections. And while byelections are traditionally considered run-of-the-mill votes that garner little interest, these races are shaping up to be anything but boring, according to CTV. And with both the NDP and the Liberals undergoing major changes in leadership since the 2011 vote, some are looking to these three byelections to get a feel for how the parties' are faring in the wake of such shifts and the final weekend of door-knocking, hand-shaking and last-minute pleas is here. While no major upsets are predicted for the ridings of Durham, Calgary Centre and Victoria, tongues are wagging over a two-year-old gaffe, a campaign-sign controversy and an unfortunate mascot, known as Mr. Floatie.
