11 Aug by-election in Bay of Quintes; PCs vs Liberals; health care, housing, rent control; historically Liberal area; low voter turnout.

A by-election in Ontario's Bay of Quinte riding is scheduled for Thursday, following the resignation of cabinet minister Todd Smith. The Progressive Conservatives (PCs) face a potentially close race against the Liberals, with key issues including health care, affordable housing, and rent controls. Polls indicate a tight competition, historically significant as the region has elected Liberals in the past. Voter turnout is expected to be lower than usual due to the quick lead-up to the election.
