Calgary byelections

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is confident the Liberals can flip a couple of traditional Tory ridings in Calgary in upcoming byelections.

They were left vacant by the resignations of Stephen Harper and former cabinet minister Jason Kenney.  Trudeau was campaigning in Calgary yesterday ahead of next month’s votes.  He claims that his government is getting oil pipelines built to ports after a decade of the Tories failing to do that.
