The Bloc Québécois has won the Montreal Liberal stronghold riding of LaSalle—Émard—Verdun after an extremely tight three-way race with the NDP.
The resounding celebrations are another blow to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, who faced calls to resign after losing another longtime Liberal seat in Toronto to the Conservatives in June.
Elections Canada reported all 187 polls showing the Bloc won the seat 248 votes ahead of the Liberals.
Further west in Winnipeg, the NDP maintained its stronghold in the riding of Elmwood — Transcona in a tight byelection race with the Conservatives.
Elections Canada reported the results of all 191 polls in the Winnipeg riding, showing NDP candidate Leila Dance won the race with 48.1 per cent of the vote.
