PoliticsGlobal National: Sept. 1, 2026 | Carney, Liberals gain momentum with byelection victories

Canada’s governing federal Liberals won three byelections, including a riding held by the Conservatives for nearly a decade. David Akin says the results point to approval of Prime Minister Mark Carney’s approach to dealing with U.S. President Donald Trump. Protests are also taking place across Alberta over allowing some doctors to work in both public and private care.
