Leslie Church seemed to know exactly what was coming as she sat down for an interview in a Toronto park Friday, three days before the byelection that could complete her journey from longtime political staffer to Liberal member of Parliament.
Seated on a bench under a small shelter a few blocks from her campaign office, Church braced herself and then laughed as she was asked whether this vote is really a referendum on Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.
Stewart is a financial and marketing specialist. He previously worked for the public affairs firm owned by Jenni Byrne, a longtime Conservative campaign director and a key, if currently unofficial, adviser to Poilievre.The high stakes in this byelection are evident in the number of high-profile people lending a hand.
Carolyn Bennett, whose resignation in January after more than 25 years in office prompted this byelection, handily won the seat even in 2011 when the Liberals were decimated across the country and won just six seats in Toronto proper. "I think people want to make it a referendum on him and I think almost regardless of the results, it will be a interpreted that way," he said.
The Israel-Hamas war and the ensuing rise in antisemitism is also top of many minds. One in six people in Toronto—St. Paul's identify as Jewish.
