CABraeden Caley, a former political aide to Prime Minister Mark Carney, won the federal byelection in the British Columbia riding of North Vancouver-Capilano, defeating Conservative candidate Stephen Curran and Green Party representative Shelley Luce. With over 90% of the polls reported, Caley emphasized themes of unity, opposition to U.S. trade tensions, reducing costs for Canadians, building affordable housing, and addressing climate change. He credited his victory to the support of Carney’s policies and pledged to continue working toward strengthening Canada’s economy and independence. The riding had previously been a safe Liberal seat, held by former cabinet minister Jonathan Wilkinson, who resigned in June to become Canada’s ambassador to the European Union. Caley stepped down from his role as Carney’s deputy chief of staff to run for the seat. Similar byelections occurred in Toronto’s Beaches-East York and Quebec’s Chicoutimi-Le Fjord, where the Liberals also secured victories.
