The Liberals currently hold three of the four seats, with some previously considered safe for the party. But so was Toronto—St. Paul’s, which the party held onto comfortably for 30 years until this week.

These looming battlegrounds could either signal a turnaround for the Liberals, or add to their growing sense of demise.{ai:summary}<p>Liberal Party faces unexpected defeat in Toronto-St. Paul's byelection, signaling potential upcoming losses in more seats. #politics</p>

More baleful byelections are brewing for the Trudeau Liberals after the fall of St. Paul's
