What a Liberal win in an Ontario byelection might mean for the Tories and the NDPOTTAWA — A Liberal win in a federal byelection in Ontario before the holidays has some Conservatives feeling a little blue — and a little worried about where the NDP's vote went. "I think NDP voters are going to take a look at Poilievre and fly to the Liberals to stop him." "They're going to be very keen, NDP voters especially, to set aside misgivings about the Liberals and vote strategically to keep the Conservatives out." Despite Singh's assessment, a federal Conservative once proved that the same Mississauga riding could be won by a federal party other than the Liberals. The federal Conservatives still see a path to a Poilievre government through other ridings in the seat-rich region around Toronto and Mississauga.

In a year-end interview with The Canadian Press on Monday, Trudeau said he's not willing to kick health-care reform down the road any further, even as provincial premiers clamour for more federal funds to bolster their ailing health systems. They want to see Ottawa cover 35 per cent of health-care costs across the country, up from the current 22 per cent, by increasing the Canada Health Transfer. Now the prime minister says the system needs reform, and he's not going to give up the money unless the provinces commit to change. Health Minister Jean-Yves Duclos made an overture to the provinces last month, offering an increase to the federal health transfer in exchange for improved data sharing across the country. Dix said Duclos came to the table with no specifics, and conversations about the health transfer have continued to be elusive with the Liberals.
