Though I'm sure some Dippers here will disagree, Mulcair appears to be changing the Sherbrooke Declaration's perceived ideas. Supposedly 50% + 1 is not necessarily enough for Quebec to separate, which is different from what I've heard from NDP members. He then went onto say that even then it would be up to the Supreme Court of Canada on whether to start negotiating Quebec sovereignty.

I thought that with the resignation of another MP today, and the possibility of more in the near future, I thought it would be good to have one thread for all the by-elections. So the three ridings that will have by-elections are Calgary Centre, Durham and Victoria and then of course there is a court case ongoing with Etobicoke Centre.

Interestingly enough the three by-elections that will likely occur by year end, though Durham and Victoria don't need to be called by then, were all won by their respective parties by 50%+ of the vote in 2011. Thought we have seen in the past that with an incumbent gone and the right candidate anything can happen.

So discuss!
