C-19, a bill to make holding elections safer during a pandemic, has become a political football — but some of its provisions might do more harm than good.

Following the resignation of former Conservative MP Diane Finley, a byelection will take place in the Ontario riding of Haldimand–Norfolk — if there is no general election in the fall.

As Scots contemplate becoming an independent country again — just seven years after deciding against it in a 2014 referendum — Quebec seems further away from independence than it has been for decades.

Fundraising records are there to be broken, at least if you're the Conservative Party. But why hasn't voter support for the Conservatives grown at the same pace as their bank account?

At the time, the 2011 federal election seemed like it was ushering in a new era in Canadian politics. Ten years later, it looks more like the exception than a new rule.

The last week has been a bad one for the Ontario premier. Polls suggest his recent handling of the pandemic has sapped his support.

Conservative Leader Erin O'Toole's new climate change plan amounts to a tricky balancing act. Will it attract enough swing voters to make up for any potential losses from a voter base inclined to oppose carbon taxes?

After their first 200 days in the job, past Conservative leaders saw their party's support in the polls increase. Under Erin O'Toole, the Conservatives have just as much support today as they did when he took over.

The NDP has seen its support increase in national polls for several reasons. Some are promising for the party, but others suggest the gains are not quite what they seem.

The prime minister's approval ratings have slipped but the Liberals still lead in the polls. And now more vaccines are on their way.

Few prime ministers have held seniority around the first ministers' table — and none of them were younger than Justin Trudeau is now when they achieved it.

The Conservatives need to win over voters in central and Eastern Canada to win the next election — but that doesn't mean they can afford to ignore their base in the West.

The Liberals lead in the polls, but not by a wide enough margin that they can be reasonably confident of winning an election if they call one early.
